I discovered that my new computer interferes with X10. Computer is attached to back up noise filtered power supply. Will this make a difference?

I find the UPS or surge strip is usually my problem not the PC but either way it should help. I have my UPS plugged into one and that cleared up my main problem. Any type of surge protector appears to weaken the signal.

It did for me. I plugged my battery backup unit into this filter and X10 devices that didn't work before now work. It solved my problem .

X10 systems are interfered with by switching power supply which are now more common than older transformer supplies. In my case I put the 1626-10 on the surge filter that powered my Home Theater set up (TV, AV Rcvr, Sat Box., Blue Ray Player) and it did improve the operation of the lights in that room. Results may vary, and more than one may be needed in come cases.

I have hade several computers and my projector interfere with X10. I have Smarthome SwitchLinc and LampLinc dimmers in X10 mode. I use Cyberpower UPS's and found when the FilterLinc is plugged into the UPS and there is a power failure the UPS goes into a continuous beep error. The FilterLinc does work and will block the interference from a PC. The FilterLinc supports 10 amps. I have used the X10 Pro XPPF Plug In Filter with equal success, it supports 5 amps and does not cause a problem when plugged into the UPS. Using the filters ahead of the UPS is always an option.

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

Unknown. Suggest you check your power supply specifications for each type computer. Check with Best Buy Geeks.

Yes, as the extermal speakers i have connected to the pc supply audio and the monitor speakers appear off.

Hi Maelster.Don't have the box anymore, so can't testify to specs, but....I have mine fully loaded, (cordless phone, 2 printers, computer, modem, router and 2 Magic Jacks) all directly behind the computer. There is no interference on any of the components, where there was quite a bit before on another strip. Hope this helps.WM

I do not use X10 so my suggestion would be to check with the support guys at Smarthome.com. They respond quickly and are always helpful.

Specific to the device plugged in, which has to be plugged in to the _bottom_ outlet (the front outlet is an unfiltered pass-through). I don't know of a whole=house filter; there are phase couplers which will help transfer the X10 signal from one phase to the other (X10 works work electric stove, electric dryer, electric water heater or central air is on but not when off). -- Barry

None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

You can get adapters to convert the Molex connectors to 3-pin connectors. Then those fans can be plugged into motherboard fan headers or a controller.Personally, I never bothered. I plugged mine straight into the power supply and have never had a problem with noise or heat. AMD 1090T, multiple drives, GTX 660, Corsair H50, no big deal. The fans are simply too big to generate much noise.

You wont hear it unless you put your ear right next to it, but I wouldn't recommend this PSU. Get a corsair its worth the extra money, this PSU failed on me at 450watts

I have never owned this power supply. So, I can not really tell you if it is or not. I have owned several computers over the years. I have heard any of my power supplies while they were running. SO! What do you think the answer should be here?? You have never had a power supply? So, you did not know they ran quiet. Come on buddy. Are you older then six?

SC is factory over clocked a little bit, my x51 only has a 180 watt power supply so I'm sure it's still only using 60w and heat and noise really aren't a problem with this card.

I have both and haven't been able to detect any interference. Use them for video gaming.

I don't know about all that improvement but it does remove the noise from from the computer and yes it does bypass the soundcard hope that helps

I'm not sure of the design details but suspect the low power setting has a smoother sine wave output so won't cause "hum" in audio when used to power audio devices. Aybe somebody else as looked into the design in detail.

NO. A friend had a different speakers from a different manufacture that when he hooked them up to his computer he had it made some noises. He moved the speakers a way from the computer it work excellent. Hope this works for you.

Sorry, this might be getting out of my comfort level for answering and I'd hate to endorse something for you that may not work. I have installed this in two different computers at my house, both running AMD processors, and I had no issues, but as to MHz and motherboard compliance - you've got me. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
