DIY 5.1V USB power source - no more rainbow

Postby westrock2000 » 16 Sep 2017, 16:28

Was having the rainbow icon show up during boot and while doing more intensive stuff like ripping.

Tried several USB chargers and some were better then others, but usually during ripping the icon would pulse occasionally.

Bought a programmable adjustable voltage regulator and some USB A female prototype and set the voltage to 5.1V. System boots up, in what seems faster time, and the rainbow is nowhere to the be seen. This is being fed from the 12V supply of a standard ATX computer power supply. Buy some ATX molex connectors with pins while on ebay!
