the fan spin upPros: worked Cons: gets relay hot with out fan spinning up Other Thoughts: will never buy a thermal trip fan PSU Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
LongevityPros: very quiet. Cons: Wore out in 2 years (5 year warranty) Other Thoughts: Corsair took care of the warranty replacement quickly and to my satisfaction, but I still had to buy a new supply to keep my computer working while it shipped to California and back. Did you find this review helpful? |
They should have sticked with SeaSonicPros: Bears the TX850 V2 title. Cons: Those are TX850 Version 3 you are getting made by CWT. It's easy to tell they are no longer the V2 made by Seasonic --- The box doesn't say V2, nor the power supply itself or the model number, And if you search the part number you will see it's made by CWT instead of Seasonic. And all the TX series have that horrible fan controller issue where the fans don't spin unless PSU gets really warm. Oh did I mention coil whine under heavy load as well? Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor and get a real Seasonic unit instead. This is not Seasonic made. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
I love CorsairPros: 1.) Feels well built. Cons: Bag that the Power Supply is in feels fake. Not necessary to lose an egg. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great PSPros: It works Cons: None. Other Thoughts: This supply is made by Seasonic, and the voltages are rock solid. Did you find this review helpful? |
SolidPros: It does what it's suppose to. Cables were long enough for my large Corsair C70 case. Cons: Cable wrapping is semi-transparent and ugly looking. Did you find this review helpful? |
Full Overview of TX850 v2Pros: This thing is a beast. Easily powers two 680 Lightnings. Cons: no case stickers. Other Thoughts: I did a full overview/review of this power supply on youtube. I hope this can help anyone with making a decision on whether to get this power supply. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A Power House!Pros: Arrived on time. Great Packaging from Newegg. Very secure in the sturdy newegg box. Outside packaging was clean. No visible sign of damage. Inside of the box was like being in "new electronics" heaven! Started up on first boot without a hiccup. A+ for quality control on Corsair's end. Cons: No case stickers :( Other Thoughts: I bought this to power a second GTX 680 Lightning and it is performing amazingly so far. Only had it a day, but you can just see the quality in this thing. I will update in a few months. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great PSUPros: Has worked flawlessly for over a year! Cons: None! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good stuffPros: I was glad to sacrifice the modularness for the price. It performs very well. The cables are long enough to reach anywhere in the case. Cons: Not really a con if you have a full tower, but the long cables could junk up the look of the inside of your case. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Experience Matters
By Chris Lyden, President of PAS
Today someone asked me how PAS is different from our competitors. The premise of the question was that the other guys obviously make acceptable products or they wouldn't be in business. So what if we have some features and functions that they don't? What really makes PAS a better supplier and partner? Excellent question, I said.
Frankly, I had to pause for a moment and collect my thoughts before answering, since this is a fundamental question any client would asks before selecting a strategic technology partner.
Here is my answer in summary:
PAS' roots are in the control room. More than eighty percent of our engineers come from end-user companies. We have a number of former operators on our team. Eddie and I both spent many years training process operators, developing and commissioning control systems and spending our fair share of time in various industrial control rooms. We live and breathe operations. It is who we are. It's in our blood.
So why does that make us a better supplier and partner? What does that have to do with the quality of our products, or the relevance of our offerings? Everything!
Our plant operations experience gives us genuine context and more importantly, empathy for our customers. We really have "walked a mile in their moccasins." Years ago, I was in a control room when the cat cracker went into reversal. If you don't know what that means, trust me, it's a very bad thing. I didn't know if I would be alive 10 seconds from now or not. The term "process safety" now has a very different meaning for me than it did before that day. It's not an abstraction. Only experience can teach that kind of lesson. Many of us at PAS have had our lives changed forever by in-plant experiences like that.
These experiences have changed the way we think. They have caused us to take a fundamentally different approach to our applications than our competitors who come from an IT background.
We focus on safety and production first, and then on systems and data. To some, this may not sound important. But when you put it in context, then it becomes not only important, but also critical.
Take for example dynamic alarming. This is serious business, impacting the operator's vigilance during the most critical operating periods – process transitions and upsets – and directly impacting plant reliability and personnel safety.
Recognizing that no alarm management solution is complete without the dynamic alarming, who would you trust with your alarm management strategy? The guys with extensive plant operations experience or the IT guys?

Genomes and Nano-Tubes
By Chris Lyden, President of PAS
For the past few years process automation industry geeks like me have been buzzing over the potential opportunities inherent in wireless sensing technologies. We envision sensors everywhere, often making measurements that would only be possible because the sensors are cheap to purchase and install. But we also know that there are additional advances required before these technologies can reach their full potential. High on the list are improvements in battery technologies.
Our current vision of ubiquitous wireless sensors is largely enabled by batteries. But, all batteries require periodic replacement and disposal. In fact, even if batteries in industrial sensor networks last five years, the cost to replace and dispose of them is staggering. Some estimates place these costs for already-installed industrial wireless networks at over two billion dollars per year! Energy harvesting technologies such as electro-active polymers and nano-generators may eventually offer solutions to these problems, but not anytime soon. We impatient engineers want a solution right away.
Exciting new super-capacitor technologies being developed by researchers at MIT offer a viable solution to these problems. Repeated charging and discharging of batteries causes them to lose capacity over time, which necessitates their replacement and disposal. An alternative to batteries are capacitors, which are storage devices for electric charge that do not have the same propensity to degrade. Until now however, capacitors have had a major drawback. Their relative size was much larger than a battery of equal capacity. Their footprint was just too big to allow them to serve as a direct replacement.
This is where the MIT technology comes in. They covered the plates of a capacitor with millions of tiny filaments called nano-tubes. Each filament is 30,000 times thinner than a human hair, and collectively they dramatically increase the effective surface area of the capacitor's plates, allowing them to store more energy in smaller footprint.
By now, you must be asking yourself "Why in the world does anyone at PAS give a hoot about batteries, and sensors, and super-capacitors?" Well, these technologies are very likely to create substantial increased demand for our Integrity software. Here's why.
Historically, there has been a mutually reinforcing (autocatalytic) relationship between the number of installed I/O and the number of applications running in a plant. As I/O costs decline, justification of new applications that use I/O becomes easier. More installed applications in-turn drive demand for I/O. The anticipated, broad proliferation of low-cost wireless measurements, enabled by our nano-tube super-capacitors and other breakthroughs, will most likely drive many new applications.
PAS' concept of Automation Genome™ mapping is in a very real sense the result of years of growth in measurements and applications. The essence of the concept is that the building blocks of modern automation systems (i.e. points, parameters, registers, bits, display elements, etc.) are the electronic analogue to DNA and genes in organic life forms. However, unlike organic life forms whose genomes morph slowly over very long periods of time, automation genomes morph daily as loops are tuned, alarms are disabled, and parameters are changed. Also unlike the genomes of organic life forms, automation genomes often share their "genetic material" (parameters) with other, foreign automation systems (species) creating an inter-related, collective genome that is the sum of the parameters of all interoperating systems.
Changes in the genome of one system often propagate to the other inter-connected systems, creating configuration mismatches. For example, a change to a register in a safety instrumented system would likely create mismatches on several graphic displays, the DCS control logic, and the historian too. So, as the level of interconnectivity between installed systems, the number of integrated measurements and, the number of applications all increase, the automation genome of the plant becomes incredibly complex. Mapping and managing this dynamic complexity becomes untenable for mere mortals.
PAS' Integrity software is the answer to this problem. It's the only product in the market that maps dissimilar genomes into a common, collective genome. As the number of measurements and genome complexity increases, the market demand for Integrity will increase with them. That is why we care about nano-tube super-capacitors.

Greening the Power Industry
By guest blogger Bill May of PAS
"Greening the Power Industry" is the theme for the ISA POWID Symposium in Chicago next week, and PAS will be there in full force to share recent projects and present the solutions that have helped our power industry clients achieve just that...
Our power industry clients improve their "green" objectives by:
Minimizing disturbances and mitigating unexpected shutdowns
Improving environmental performance
Meeting regulatory compliance
PAS solutions that help our clients achieve these objectives include:
Control loop performance optimization
Alarm management
High performance operator HMI (Human Machine Interface)
Management of change
Disaster recovery
Since the launch of our Power Industry Center of Excellence two years ago, we have significantly grown our client base in this industry. We have worked with several industry leaders, each with a focus on going green. Next week, we'll present details of several of these projects, including:
Alarm Management Optimization at a Mid-Size Power Plant: PAS helped improve the performance of unit operators by significantly reducing the number of nuisance alarms. Now, with the improved alarm system, there are fewer excursions and a noticeable reduction in emissions.
HMI Best Practices: PAS has teamed up with EPRI to help a mid-size power company increase operator effectiveness and situational awareness by improving the quality of their process graphics. Results from this type of improvement project are the same with all our of clients; When operators have good situational awareness, plants run better and green objectives are achieved.
Loop Optimization: Recently, PAS assessed the control loops of a power plant in the Midwest and identified an opportunity to reduce utility usage by 4% by optimizing control strategies and retuning controllers. Going green while reducing operating costs makes justifying this kind of project a cool breeze. We're happy to tell this story, as many clients eagerly embrace this type of efficiency improvement, especially in today's economic climate.
So if you were wondering whether PAS is part of the "Go Green" campaign, the answer is, yes we are and we have been for years.
Come See Us
If you plan to attend next week's POWID conference, come by our booth (#1821) to learn more, or come view our presentation on "Operator Process Graphics" scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th at 1:00 pm in the Operations & Maintenance Optimization track. Or just drop me an email (
). I'd love to hear from you.

I have just purchased a MOX6 Yamaha keyboard, mostly for its wonderful sounds. I wish to record the sounds into Logic. (Until now I have only ever used the built in sounds in Logic.) I am having a terrible time trying to work out how to get the sounds from the keyboard into Logic. I can get the first 128 sounds (the 1st preset as they call it i.e. 1st bank) as they link to each channel in Logic when I assign an 'external midi' track channel to one of the MOX's program change channels. But I cannot access the other banks (presets) of sounds, which of course are the ones I want! Could anyone give me any tips. I have tried Yamaha's music help line and also Digital Village where I got the keyboard, but they couldn't assist! (The keyboard is connected by USB, and I believe I should be able to do this easily!!)
Fran Carpenter wrote:Thank you for your quick response! Best all day. I wanted to use the MOX6 with just the USB connection to my iMac, and was told that was all I would need. Put away all my long jack leads and midi cables etc! (I do have an Apogee Duet also for a microphone and could connect to that). Would I be recording in audio if I connected your way? I wanted to record in Midi if poss in case I needed to increase/decrease tempo etc and muck about with parts and sounds.
Fran Carpenter wrote:OK, I have now plugged the speakers directly into the MOX output and can hear all the MOX sounds, played as recorded in Logic. But when I bounce the arrangement to make an audio version of my music, it only bounces the Logic track I have on there!
Fran Carpenter wrote:Hello there! I am back to just my USB cable to my iMac from the MOX6 and speakers connected directly to the keyboard. With in and out set to MOX I can hear everything at least! I got as far, from the place where I bought the blooming thing that I must record each MOX track to a separate audio track. There in lies the problem. Can you tell me how to record one MOX track to one audio track. I have created a blank audio track, but there is no reading of level in the audio channel strip. I presume I mute all other MOX tracks and Logic tracks, but have no idea how to record it to the audio track. (Normally I simply bounce all my Logic instr tracks down in one go, after mixing. And vocals register straight away through the mic connection. I've never had to record a track from an external inst before!! I can't believe it is this hard!!) I don't actually know how I would go about recording a single Logic internal inst track to an audio track, but I presume it must be the same way as doing the MOX track. So grateful if you can help. (I also cannot believe that Yamaha help have no idea about using Logic with the MOX!)
Fran Carpenter wrote:Thank you. It does make sense, but my audio does not record. I just get a flat line recording of nothing. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Replacing McCrea: 3 choices for District 9 Burton-Eberhardt, Klug, Schuilenburg seek seat
Category: Metro Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
LORRAINE BURTON-EBERHARDT (Contributed)
After 12 years representing District 9 on the Pittsburgh Public School District Board of Directors, Floyd "Skip" McCrea will be stepping down. Running for the seat in the upcoming May 21 primary election are Lorraine Burton-Eberhardt, Carolyn Klug, and Dave Schuilenburg.
While the district represents schools in both the West End and the North Side, all three candidates come from the North Side. But that's not where the similarities end.
At a candidate forum hosted by A+ Schools, all three candidates expressed opposition to out of school suspensions and other methods the district uses to discipline students.
"I've heard there are some schools where there is a detention class but there's not even an adult in the room," Schuilenburg said.
All three candidates said the district's resources could be better handled. Burton-Eberhardt said she would do a time study to see where the district's money was going. Schuilenburg said he would redistribute assets based on the individual needs of communities and schools
"We need to make sure funds are being used in schools and not on consultants," Schuilenburg said.
When asked how they would attract students to the district, Klug said it was important to make the district's schools as attractive or more attractive then charter schools.

"Magnets were the precursor to charter schools," Klug said. "I think we need to revisit our magnets."
The candidates also chimed in on the growing debate surrounding "teacher effectiveness." Klug said the key to improving teachers is to work with them to determine what works in the classroom.
"The district needs to move back to professional development that reflects best practices," Klug said.
Schuilenburg said the district should reward teachers who meet goals set out at the state level. Burton-Eberhardt said she would review teacher-hiring practices and review the union contract to make it easier to discharge a teacher.
Despite her background of serving 31 years in the district in positions ranging from teacher to principal, Burton-Eberhardt did not default to taking the sides of teachers and school administrators.
"I think the board members need to be more visible in the community, but I also think the schools need to do their part. Parents want to be involved but a lot of the time they're not invited" Burton-Eberhardt said. "I've worked in all levels of the district so I know the ins and outs of the district."
Klug also has more than 30 years of experience as an educator. She has also volunteered her time with the Girl Scouts of Western PA: Girls with Special Needs Committee and the Pittsburgh Symphony Educators Committee.
"I want to make sure all children have equal access to resources in the district and to make sure we get more resources for our district," Klug said.
Unlike his two opponents, Schuilenburg isn't a retired educator. He works as a 9-1-1 officer and trainer and is a founding member of the PA Freedom of Information Coalition.

Tonya Payne: Let me finish what I started
Category: Metro Written by Christian Morrow - Courier Staff Writer
Tonya Payne, who served one term as Pittsburgh's City Council's District 6 representative before losing her seat to R. Daniel Lavelle four years ago, said when she left office, she left some work undone. And, as they are still undone, she wants the voters to send her back to finish the job.
"District 6 needs a strong voice on council who will work hard and fight hard for the things the community needs, not someone who sits there quietly and produces nothing," she said. "These development projects he's talking about were already in the hopper. All he had to do was show up and cut the ribbon."

Lavelle: I've earned chance to do more

R. Daniel Lavelle didn't have the Democratic Party endorsement when he ousted Tonya Payne from Pittsburgh's District 6 Council seat four years ago, and he doesn't now as he runs for another term against Payne, and Franco "Dok" Harris.

Auburn Hills police make arrest in shooting near Great Lakes Crossing
Auburn Hills police have one suspect in custody and are searching for another after a man was shot in what authorities believe was a drug deal gone wrong near Great Lakes Crossing mall.
Police say the suspects know the victim.
Officers arrived to the scene of the shooting Tuesday night near the area of Baldwin Avenue and Great Lakes Crossing Drive for the report of a shooting.
The victim, who police say suffered non-life threatening injuries, was found at the scene, shot in the upper back.
The 20-year-old New Haven resident was transported to a McLaren Oakland Hospital for medical treatment.
No one else was injured.
According to authorities, there were two suspects who got away in a mid-2000s model white Chevrolet Impala. One is described as a black male with a goatee who was wearing a black jacket with white lettering.
On Wednesday, a 26-year-old Flint man was taken into custody in relation to the shooting, said Auburn Hills Lt. Ryan Gagnon.
"The two suspects and two victims met in a parking lot in separate cars for a drug deal," Gagnon said. "While all four men were in the same car, one of them was shot with a small-caliber handgun."
Through interviews with the man in custody, police found that the four men met up near the shopping mall for a marijuana deal. Continued...
"A small amount of drugs were found at the scene, as well," said Gagnon.
The second suspect is a light-skinned black male with a goatee.
The incident was not random; the victims know the suspects, said Gagnon.
Detectives are still interviewing the Flint man to figure out who actually fired the gun. Authorities expect to take the case to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office within 48 hours to determine charges against the man.
The investigation remains open as police search for the second suspect and the Impala, Gagnon added.
The Auburn Hills Police Department asks that anyone with information about this shooting call police at 248-370-9444.

wall display cabinet for books
"my family has too many books and a long narrow hallway. we set the bertby glass door wall cabinet between the studs in the wall. they are perfect for paperbacks! ikea stuff is like tinker toys for adults."

That is flipping genius! The depth is an issue, but I see from the photo they are slightly external. Very nice.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 11, 2007 10:20 AM
3 practical questions for this very useful hack!
1) The Ikea catalogue states that these are 16.5 inches wide, which leads people to think that they are too wide for between-stud installation. Is the actual box narrower in width than 16 inches?
2) How did you mount it so that the door will open. I looked at the instructions posted at ikeafans.com, and it looks like the door is wider than the box, needing space to swing into the wall when you open it?
3) Please post details on how you mounted it between the studs- the nitty gritty, please.
Nancy - MicheleNovember 11, 2007 11:35 AM
Thanks all for the great compliments.
As to the anonymous post;
1) The 16" refers to the door, not the shelves. The "box" that make up the shelves is just over 13"(33cm)
2) Concerning the door swing. The cabinet projects 3" from wall. 3.5" (9cm) with door shut.
3) We screwed the box thru the sides into the studs. We also have added 2 by 4 sections underneath for added support.
Because I really hate to do a lot of plaster work on corners and I didn't know if it would eventually crack we added flat strips wood molding (lattice strips) around the box to finish the wall/cabinet area. - AnonymousNovember 11, 2007 2:20 PM
thanks, Michelle! I'm anonymous only because I don't have a google account and it was easier than creating one. Really appreciate your answers. Great idea about the wood strips for finishing, and the 2x4's for support!

President and CEO Layton Roberts said the system was developed by him working with an information technology expert, and friend, based in Chicago. "It's a way for a candidate looking for a job to fill out a profile complete with the ability to download his or her resume," Roberts said. The profile can then be shared by us on every social media platform like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc."
Roberts said that any client could also access his clients 24/7 and even place a job order on-line.
"Nothing will ever take the place of interviewing a candidate face-to-face and we will continue to do so," Roberts said. "But this takes recruiting and staffing to an entirely new level."
The on-line system was introduced in the Rome market earlier this month.

The first victim was reported walking into Sutter Solano Medical Center at about 5:35 p.m. with a gunshot wound in the lower body.
The 25-year-old man told police he was walking on Sonoma Boulevard near Illinois Street when someone dressed in a hoodie fired multiple shots at him, striking him once.
However, officers found no crime evidence during a subsequent area check, police said.
At about 11 p.m., officers received another report from a gunshot victim walking to Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center. The victim, a 19-year-old man, said he was walking into the 200 block of Lofas Place when a black sedan approached him, police said.
The sedan's occupants yelled something at the victim before he heard several gunshots, police added. The victim then ran away, but later noticed he had been shot in the upper body, police said.
He was dropped off at the hospital and reported the shooting to the police.
The suspect was described as a black man in his 20s, wearing a black hoodie.
About a half hour later, at about 11:35 p.m., officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 300 block of Idora Street.
While on their way to the scene, police received another report of a gunshot victim making her way to a hospital. Her age was not immediately available.
She was shot in the lower body, police added.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic man
