Review on πŸ’» RGEEK 1106 DC to DC ATX PSU 12V 300W: Efficient Mini ITX PC Power Supply for Computers by Shawn Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality control issues, but so far everything is working fine.

Needed more power for upcoming graphics card installation so I decided to replace the 19.5V 90W PSU. It would be nice if this device also used 19.5V laptop power supplies as there aren't many new options for high amperage 12V power supplies. Ordered a used Dell DA-2 240W (google for manual), 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel adapter and 6 pin to two 8 pin PCIe adapters (barrel to this Pico and 8 pin to GPU). Choose an appropriate power supply for the installation. It costs about $25 but requires some electrical knowledge. Should be enough for a 125W GPU and a 65W CPU (estimates include undervoltage, but I'm expecting 100-175W load while gaming). This device comes neatly packaged in a simple little brown box with a power adapter and a couple of braided cables. One of the yellow power cables for older hardware (a floppy drive I think) was unplugged, but I would never use it. It was easy to set up as it was in the old spot. The 5.5mm x 2.5mm socket broke after installation, but still works during testing. You may need to solder a new one later. The blue LED is quite bright. It will probably hide since you can see it through the mesh side. In general, everything is fine so far. Remember you will need a 12 volt power supply with enough power for your use. Google the power consumption of your parts for hard numbers, then look up ways to lower your GPU and CPU voltage if you're looking to lower power requirements and/or just increase temperatures. I'll update after I get a new graphics card and see if this unit can actually put out around 200w.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
