ESA Technology Explained
Posted by Regeneration on December 1st, 2007, 07:41 PM

You may be thinking that nowadays we have already these things enabled. No, we don’t. For example, the power supply monitoring that is available today is done by a sensor chip on the motherboard – which isn’t 100% accurate, by the way – and not by the power supply itself. The idea is to make the power supply to report its internal conditions, which in theory is much more accurate than using an external sensor on the motherboard. Also nowadays there is no way to know the value of the power supply internal temperature or efficiency.

so long as they dont decide to charge some ungodly price for hardware with this new-fangled technology because frankly its not worth too much, cant do much about your psu temp even if you wanted to (what are you gonna do force feed a fan throug the vent holes? lol) and as per ram, i always have a fan blowing over my whole mobo so im not too worried, interesting though

LOL on vent holes

I am pretty confident my PSU is running nice and cool the fan inside it only comes on when its needed and to be honest unless I am testing or stressing something its not on a whole lot. As for RAM same here I have a fan cooling them and the board. OCZ actually makes a really neat looking RAM cooler but can't really see much point in getting one unless I move to a mobo that has 4 slots for RAM. Actually thought it was pretty cheap has dual fans in it ...

Canada Computers - Cooling > Chipset/Memory : OCZ XTC Cooler - Cools DDR1/DDR2 Memory Modules, 2x60mm Fans, Blue LEDs, Aluminum (OCZTXTCC).


As for Rege's comment on something we don't need your prolly right .... but is interesting

that is a really cool little cooler, does it just clamp onto the slots?

This new technology would only be usefull for people who are paranoid about everything going in their system. Which isn't me. Which means i won't buy it unless it has no extra cost over other hardware that don't have that feature.
