Yeah the brain dudes I mentioned also say that if you’re using an ODE and want to reduce the heat caused by lack of load on the 12v rail, to do the simple resistor mod on the original PSU. That way you keep the OG PSU but adjust it for the lack of Optical Drive.

My personal issue with the DC PSU is the rails on it.
The Saturn PSU is solid though IMO.
As a side note I would be interested to see their findings with PICO PSU's, The one thing you got to remember about them though is that they are only as good as the PSU's you plug into them.
Mine are both running high quality Leicke PSU's.
Both run very well, Cool and with 0 issues.

I left my Saturn on for 12 hours yesterday and it was barely warm. I can’t see replacing a working power supply.
Been having a lot of fun with my Fenrir. Playing stuff that didn’t even have good rips back in my Saturn heyday. Lot of games holding up surprisingly well.
:cheers:

I cant wait to get my stuff set back up. I've got a stack of blank cds so i'm just going to take a day and go nuts.

Nah if its staying cool and the caps are good leave it be :)
My DC was the biggest heater tbh, that thing got unnecessarily warm even with the resistor mod done, But Like I said previous I dont like the DC PSU's.
I only really changed my Saturn one because:
A) I was really impressed with the DC pico.
B) It was a Japanese console so I had to run it via a transformer, Now I dont.
It did get warm like but nowhere near as warm as the DC used to.
Locke141:
I generally agree that if it work it works. For my DC that had a dead power supply anyway, they replacement seems to have fixed all issues and I like it.
I have a working Saturn with a Rhea and a original power supply. I'll try the cheep DC supply on my childhood one with the dead power. I already have a working one, why not?
