[Marius24]

Q1) How can i find out how much power my PSU is using? Preferably using AIDA32

Q2) I got a side fan with my case and want to know a good program that can control its speed and if it blows in and out

thanks

1) no way to see the psu usage, but you can check the voltages to see how far off from there normal voltage they are running (eg. 12v running at 12.03) using motherbord monitor

2) cant control a fan that is plugged in using a molex connector only the ones that plug directly into the motherboard. alternatively you could buy a fan speed controller for your computer that fits into a cdrom drive bay.

yeah it should be atleast 350watt, the higher the better.
