Missing 4 pin 12v cable power issues - update - another update

Missing 4 pin 12v cable In vain I tightened my build now I have to find and pay for an update 1/15. Natalie from Mp3Car Store was great and sent the cable straight away. Upgraded from 1 star to 2 because Picopsu is showing strange behavior. When the adapter is connected for the first time, the fan spins to maximum. Only when the power button is pressed does Windows start to boot and the fan runs normally again. At this point, Windows and the computer will function normally. However, when you…

Great power supply for your small PC!

Wow! This is an amazing little item. This is a power supply that fits perfectly into an ATX connector. I hooked it up to a 192w AC/DC adapter, also with a minibox. This setup features an ASUS ITX motherboard, 16GB of RAM, an i7-4790K overclocked to 4.6GHz, and an overclocked GTX 750 Ti GPU. The purpose of this PC is a mobile game console. A budget gaming laptop of sorts, if you will. I'll admit that I've taken this power supply as far as it can be with my current components and it keeps coming…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Yes, you can PLAY it!

I purchased this product as a kit (160-XT + 192W AC DC unit) straight out of the Mini Box. long time ago and I am very glad that I finally discovered it. My plan was to build a fully custom wooden mini-ITX gaming "console" with relatively low-power components in a small chassis. I originally wanted to use my existing SFX-L power supply, but it was too big and was making unnecessary noise due to the extra fan. Then this little beast appeared. I am currently playing and writing this review with a

Great balance of performance and smoothness!

I have this power supply for the smallest HTPC build I have ever built and it works perfectly! By powering all peripherals (except for the dedicated graphics card), the PSU provides everything needed for this build. It fits perfectly into the Mini-ITX motherboard and doesn't interfere with the case at all. I would recommend this power supply to anyone who wants to quiet their power supply and have a quieter computer. Would definitely buy again Shape: Motherboard: GigaByte GA-Z170N - WiFi Mini…

Great tiny PSU

Three weeks after installing it in a new AMD A6-6400 processor ITX mini build, all my initial doubts were gone. The tiny indoor unit (part) combined with the impressive transformer/adapter (outside) works very well. The device was much smaller than the one I replaced (60W). However, because it protruded slightly from its surface, it collided with one of the two case fans. I replaced both with lower profile fans. All of this happened in a tiny Norco ITX-7 chassis, for which the device was a…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
