Here's a podcast-style discussion on power supplies, featuring Mike Chi, Voultar and René. While this gets pretty nerdy and detailed at times, we wanted to openly discuss the issues with using aftermarket power supplies, as well as safe options for people interested. As usual, these long-form chats are available on all podcast services; Just search your favorite app for "RetroRGB Power" and you'll find it. Lots more details after the links:

First, you can expect the typical banter that happens when we all get together, so expect profanity and over-the-top-silliness. That said, I think we helped clarify things for the end-user, as well as help people who might be currently working on power-related projects. And while none of us claim to know everything there is to know about power, I think the basic warnings we discussed in detail are overall excellent advice:
...and lastly, as we stated many times in the discussion, the goal of this was simply to educate. As with all discussions that include serious warnings, we'll be called "fearmongers" and be accused of "gatekeeping" any new products or members of the retro gaming scene. Which is extra hilarious, considering the focus of RetroRGB has always been highlighting new developers and products in the scene. Sigh, that's our punishment for trying to help...
