Voltage Requirements For An Asus K7v Motherboard

The Asus K7V motherboard can fit into a variety of computer cases and types.


The Asus K7V is a PC motherboard that supports an AMD Athlon processor, and North Bridge and South Bridge System chipsets. The motherboard contains three dual in-line memory module sockets that accept PC133/PC100 memory modules. The Asus K7V has a maximum memory capacity of 1.5 gigabyts. The motherboard requires an ATX or equivalent power supply.


Voltage Requirements


The Asus K7V requires a 235-watt power supply that supplies at least 20 amperes on the +5-volt lead and at least 10 milliampere, but Asus recommends 750mA , on the +5-volt standby lead, +5VCB. Your system may become unreliable and may experience difficulty in powering up if your power supply is inadequate. Issues include powering off unexpectedly, system start-up errors and beeps, and possibly the power supply failing.


Wake-On-LAN Support


The motherboard also contains controls that will bring your computer system out of a "sleep" state when present on a computer network, known as Wake-On-LAN. The power supply you select must be able to support this by supplying 750mA, +5VSB on the +5-volt standby lead. The Wake-On-LAN feature is optional.


Purchasing Power Supply


ATX and equivalent power supplies for the Asus K7V motherboard are available at computer and electronics stores as well as online computer and electronics outlets. The power suppy's price varies.


Tips


Follow all directions and recommendations that come with the motherboard and power supply. Make sure you use an anti-static wristband to keep static electricity from affecting the components. Do not attempt to fit the motherboard and power supply into a case that is smaller than the two components -- this can lead to your computer system overheating. Purchase all the components you will need, including CD-ROM, hard drive, sound card and other components, before attempting to assemble your computer.
