Is there any overvoltage protection? I just plugged this into my monitor. Works great but is immediately rather warm to touch. Is that okay?

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

I am not sure about overvoltage protection, but I have had this product for quite some time now and hasn't caused a fire yet. Hope that helps.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I have one plugged in all the time, and I just checked and it was cool to the touch. Hope this helps?

Only 90 day return, mine has been fine for ever. I would look at the hook-up cable lines and be sure it didn't loose power. Or you can take the monitor out and have a installation place check to see if it is the monitor? I stand behind the product.

I do not have any problems with my computer over heating, but I did replace the power supply when I first purchased the computer to put in a more powerful supply for gaming.

The one I bought seems to be just warm and not hot to the touch. Temperature seems to be like other laptop adapters I have.

I thought of that as well; but I used it as a desk top replacement in an environment where the temperature never dipped below 75 degrees. I believe either the video card blew...or the connections from the LCD to the computer itself became loose in some way. Anyway its academic I sent it back for a replacement and its on its way and will arrive on February 2nd.

So on the back there's a sticker that says 100-240v... but I don't see a switch anywhere or anything like that. Dunno if that helps. I can tell you this monitor is awesome though. : D

Not sure I understand what the problem is. This monitor runs by a power supply which can be plugged into a UPS like any other 120VAC device.

It sounds like you are over driving the power of the adapter and certainly the cable should not get hot. If it is attached to a phone then check the phones spec's for the correct power rating of the adapter.

It has over volt protection.been using for a year no probe on matx a10-5800k with hd6570 dual graphics

I don't see a problem - I have one that has been plugged in for about 12 years with no issues. It gets hot to the touch (if you stick your finger under the plastic guard) but not hot enough to damage anything.

Hi Constanza,I dont believe this is a problem because the monitor uses very little power. My son and his wife used it and I saw it work very well.However you do need an adapter or a converter in order to use with 220.An adapter is worth having. I used the adapter on my trips, and it's inexpensive.You can purchase it here at Amazon. Good luck,Yaelle

The Exhaust vent is in a very good spot on this computer in my opinion. It would be very hard to plug this vent accidentally. The warm air exits in the middle under the monitor towards the screen side. I have done a lot of gaming and so far have not noticed any excessive heat.

I'm sorry to say I had the same issue with 1 of 2 monitors I purchased. I don't believe it's a powersupply issue b/c I swapped powersupplies and the issue still occurred. I had to RMA my bad monitor. I will say though, if you get one that works, they're really quite nice.

I bought the very same setup but had not hooked it up till I saw your question. My 12 volt power supply is only good to 5 amps but the converter boosted the voltage up to 33 volts no problem and the light is blinding at 60+ watts. I didn't have a heat sink on the 100 watt LED so I could only run it a few seconds. THe buck converter has some good heat sinks on it, your biggest issue will be to cool the LED. I have used a CPU cooling fan and run my other 100 watt LED as an adjustable lab bench light maxing out at a de-rated 30 Watts, it works amazingly well. You might want to put a small fan on the boost converter as well since 10 watts of dissipated power does add up. I bought the very same setup but had not hooked it up till I saw your question.
