Product Description:
Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both. Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both! The PSU Energyzer requires no assembly or wiring - just plug it in, turn on your PC power supply, and turn on your Xbox 360.
The PSU Energyzer is a special cable with an OEM Xbox 360 power plug on one end, and a 20 pin ATX connector on the other.
Please note that the original Xbox 360 Power Supply provides 203 watts, and 12v DC current at 16.5 amps, and 5v DC at 1 Amp. For the PSU energyzer to work, your PC power supply must provide this much SUSTAINED power at a minimum. Many PC power supplies are rated for PEAK power instead of sustained power, so you must check the label of your power supply to see if it provides enough sustained power.

Fire Hazard by Austin P. Murkland
I bought this cable thinking with all the dead xbox 360 power supplies i’ve gone through, even if the computer PSU’s died it would be cheaper to buy new computer PSU’s than keep getting xbox 360 psu’s. Well this thing worked GREAT for the first 2 weeks, i couldn’t be happier with its performance, until it caught fire where the two pieces connect, and melted a corner fusing them together permanently as well as not working any longer due to the part that caught on fire. i would STRONGLY discourage ANYONE from purchasing this or any other 3rd party power supply, i’ve tried them ALL. ALL of them have died on me, usually melting somewhere along the process filling my house with the toxic burning plastic. Buy a used microsoft power supply, they’re covered by microsoft’s warranty if anything goes wrong. it may seem like you’re saving money right now, but when it dies, it may just take your house and your family with it. it’s not worth the risk, and shouldn’t be sold in the USA as it hasn’t passed any of the ISO standards for safety compliance.
If anyone wants pictures, i am willing to provide them.
PSU Energyzer a cheap way to play! by Lawrence W. Frye
Some people have had bad things to say about this product; since I’m not there I can’t comment on these complaints. However the more I read across the net the more I feel that many of these issues are a result of “not following directions”!
The following information is clearly printed on the back of the box:
PEASE NOTE: The original XBOX360 PSU provides
203w / 12v DC @ 16.5A / 5v DC @ 1A
The PC PSU that you use must be able to provide this much (SUSTAINED) power (AT A MINIMUM) in order for your 360 to boot successfully.
I am a PC tech by trade and have repaired and built (MANY PC’s) over the years so I’d like to believe that I know a little bit about this! Just a little info for anyone out there who doesn’t know…most PSU only tell you the (PEAK POWER) not the sustained. For this reason you must be careful about the PSU you hook up to your Talismoon “PSU Energyzer”, otherwise you are going to have problems!
For the customer who was complaining about his PSU almost melting because of this device, it’s not the “PSU Energyzer” it’s your PSU that’s no good! What this person described is a text book example of what happens when you over load your PSU! To make a long story short try to find out what is the sustained amps & wattage of your PSU.
I personally own one of these PSU Energyzers and have no problems with it. You also don’t need to buy and expensive PSU to run this properly, what you DO need is a lot of wattage and most importantly “amps”. I bought a cheap $20.00 chiefMax PSU that has 450w of power and 28amps on the 12v rail, this is more than enough power to satisfy the needs of your 360.
I have the old 360 which requires 203w of power and 16.5amps as well as the new revision Falcon which only requires 175w and 14.5amps. The product is GREAT and has saved me much $$$ since a quality replacement PSU for the 360 cost between $60.00 & $100.00. The moral to this story is simple, “read before you just go plugging something up to your expensive hardware, and follow the directions that are given. Doing this will save you much time, money and aggravation!
Doesn’t seem to work with newer 360’s by Z. Kolev
When I initially got this for my 360, it worked great with thermaltake 430W powersupply. When my 360’s DVD-drive broke, microsoft sent me replacement 360 that seems to have had the newer “Falcon” 65nm chip inside. They are supposed to use less energy and give off less heat. Thus they are less likely to get the Red Ring of Death. The replacement box was having some issues and now I have a second replacement 360 again with the newer chip. But the it seems they dont work with this Talismoon cable and power supply. The power port on the 360 looks a bit different but it still works with older OEM power supplies but not this Talismoon Cable.
Just a warning. This cable is useless to me now.
terrible by John M. Dimaggio
Ive purchased 2 of these thinking that they were a good low cost alternative to replacing the power supply. I have numerous good pc power supplies . Both of these talismoons practically caught fire they got so hot. I managed to salvage one but have to keep a fan running on the connector and my 360 frequently locks up. I will be throwing them all away and purchasing a microsoft oem power supply.
