Default RE: How to convert an ATX power supply to rc use

Anything down to 2 ohms requires no more than two 10w resistors. If you stick to 3.3 ohns you can get away with one however always heatsink it to the power supply case with some thermal paste. The airflow from the fan/s will also keep the resistor cool. Remember wire wounds are designed to run warm but don't exceed their rating.
