Charlize PS ripple

Greyskale · 28th November 2007, 02:39 AM

Hello, I am in the final stages of my Charlize build. I went to check my PS to make sure it was 12V and was shocked by the amount of ripple in the supply. I can literally watch it oscillate +/- about a halve of a volt at about 10Hz or so. is this normal for a switching supply, or am I missing something simple? I don't have another one around to test.

My supply is this one:PSU

hello all, I don't mean to sound whiney, but it's been more than 24 hours and the thread has had 57 views... Can't anyone tell me if this ripple in the supply is acceptable for this amp or not?

This thread can be deleted by the mods. I finished the amp and it sounds wonderful with said power supply.
