When advising a customer on the purchase of a new power supply, you should explain that if the power supply runs at peak performance all the time, it will overheat. Additionally, power supplies can lose some capacity over time. Considering these conditions, you recommend that the customer purchase a power supply with a power rating higher than what the system currently uses.

How much more wattage over peak do you recommend the customer purchase?

a.

15% more

b.

20% more

c.

30% more

d.

40% more

Answer:

C. 30% more.

Explanation:

The computer system is an electronic device and so it requires a certain level of power supply. Its hardware components are circuitry of electronic and electrical components or devices. They all need a certain voltage requirement to function properly.

The processor is the main hardware component on the motherboard, that controls the activities of all other components. It draws power from the power supply and sends signal, based on the power requirement of that component.

At the highest peak of operation, the supply overheats as it's power limit is used for a long time. And when the power supply diminishes over time, the supply would not be able to supply the needed power.

So a power supply of 30 percent over peak voltage is recommended to tackle these problems.
