Hello everyone
I am an electronics hobbyist and I used to have a hacked PC PSU as a power supply
Unfortunately though I burned it because some piece of copper wire fell inside and made a short circuit
and BOOM I got the magic smoke
So I got another one which for some reason broke without me touching it after a great 3 months of spectacular use but I was kind of expecting that especially that I got it for 15 bucks
in the middle of a test the 3-volt rail sort circuited to the ground and the 5-volt rail but fortunately I noticed before any catastrophe since it turned out that it didn't had any kind of protection
As I am fed up from all of this I want to get a programmable power supply which is pretty expensive in my country
So should I get it or get another PC PSU but pick a higher quality model his time and mod it as i did to the previous two
Also is it OK for an LED to be operating at 50 degrees Celsius?
Please help me and really sorry if this was too much to read
