How many Watts does CPS2 use when running?

[Harineto]

Out of interest I was wondering how many watts CPS2 takes when running.

If anyone know would love to hear. Also, if you have the watts stats for CPS3 that would be great. From my understanding CPS3 uses less power.

I'm just making sure the PSU I have will be enough for CPS2 and 3.

CPS2 power draw is just under 3A on the +5V rail:

CPS3 is definitely less, because I have to turn down voltage when I change from CPS2 to CPS3.

Thank you @nem I will be using the Supergun-mini with this PSU should it be ok for CPS2 and 3?

That should be fine. You can measure the voltages when you have it set up.

Got it setup. CPS2 with Darksoft uses around 35Watts (Playing Alpha 2).

MVS 1 slot uses 14 Watts (Playing Garou)

If that's true then the Darksoft CPS2 exceeds the maximum output of the PSU. Did you measure the voltages under load?

I can't comment on the CPS-2, but last time I checked the MV-1C with a Garou cart, it drew around 800mA on +5V, and around 70mA on +12V (attenuated audio, connected to amplified speakers), that's less than 5W total.

Huh, that's good to know. I've been using a Mean Well RT-125A with my superguns, but I hate how bulky the thing was. I kinda just dealt with it, but it seems like I might be able to just use a RT-65A or 85A and enclose both the supergun and power supply into one unit to make it more manageable. I generally stick to MVS, CPS2 and Atomiswave.

I have an RT-65A and can attest it runs all of those systems without problems. I haven’t tried something really power hungry like S16 but I think it would be fine

Yup, this was under load measuring at the wall with Watt Meter.

I can't comment on the CPS-2, but last time I checked the MV-1C with a Garou cart, it drew around 800mA on +5V, and around 70mA on +12V (attenuated audio, connected to amplified speakers), that's less than 5W total.

At the wall the MV1AX was using only MAX 14Watts. I have one of the 163-1 Ver 3 Carts.
