or try changing your breaker to 20A..unless your house has a limit of 15A ...lol
It'll help guard against melting the cords and its needed to move the cascade off of the office circuit. Do not use ext. cords for psu's btw, not a good thing.

My a/c air unit runs off a seperate breaker via extension cords and that cord gets pretty darn hot during operation as its your run of the mill ext. cord.

Thats my project for next weekend... install 2 new 20AMP circuit to the bench table
I'm gonna see how she fairs at bloomfield later today.
This gufltown chip is getting wicked hot and leaky. It'll need ln2 love.

At least that is what I did when I went out and bought Heavy duty cord.

20 AMP for shizzle the serious bencher needs a room with two 20AMPs anymore with AC units, phase change and 1200+ W PSUs.
Anyone know if its cool to just change teh breaker from 15a to 20a?
