    3.48k current resistor.. how far off can I be?

    Hi guys,

    I just got my 3.48k 1% metal film resistors from Digi-key. I solder it to my DB9 and i'm seeing 3.472k of resistance. I'm probably being picky but is that ok? I wanna do this right the first time with negative performance loss.

    Thanks.

    Well maybe I'll just answer my own question. Gecko's manual says 1/4 5% resistor. 5% of 3.5k would be 3.325k I'd say that my 3.472k would be well within spec.

    Yes, 3.48K is pretty much what most people use.

    Cheers,

    Peter.

    Hi Peter, Thanks.

    I'm still debating on your G540 chillers. I'm still working on my build. Slow progress. Focusing on the electronics for now. Every time I think about your chillers, you're out of stock. Must be hot sellers.

    I don't need one just yet but I'll keep checking your status.

    Thanks.
