    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    The 216W Dell PSU. The spikes are only detected by the electronic 20A fuse of the multimeter - that safely shuts down the connection. Without the meter it works ok - but I have no control. The spikes occured in the Skydiver benchmark of 3Dmark and in Furmark. Should I wait for the GTX 950 (90W) ?

    It works. Heavy load 16A, but short spikes of 20A makes me uneasy. Have to rethink the concept ....

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    I am planning to connect the e3-1220Lv2 and GTX960 to the picoPSU-160-XT like this. Does it make sense ?

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    I think you are right. The 12v 192w brick was also starting to become my main concern. If it becomes unstable at such a high load it could fry everything :eek: I think I will try the picoPSU-160-XT with a Dell 12V 18A (216W) power supply instead (will require 78% efficiency) Waiting for the...

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    Here is actual system measurements with the Intel Xeon e3-1220Lv2 and the KFA2 GTX 750 ti: Idle : 25W - 2,1A CPU Burn: 44W - 3,7A GPU Burn (Furmark): 111W - 9,3A Extrapolated for GTX 960 - GPU Burn (Furmark): 170W - 14,2A The big question is, will the picoPSU-160-XT and 192W power supply be...

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    I wonder how much the varying levels of power spikes of the different GTX 960 cards will stress the picoPSU-160-XT ? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-960,4038-8.html

    What is the max operating temp for e3-1220LV2 ?

    The slim H61 motherboard does work with the Intel Xeon e3-1220LV2 (when using a graphics card) :D That means only 17w for the CPU (allowing all the rest for the graphics card)

    Sure, standard H61 drivers. This thin itx board is special because it has a PCI-E x16. I hope it supports Intel Xeon e3-1220LV2

    And it is thin :)

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    I have four questions though about this motherboard: 1) Is it really pci-e x16, or only x8 or x4 ? - pci-e x16 2.gen. 2) does the bios allow E3-1220L V2 cpu ? - don't know yet. 3) does the mini pci-e allow mSATA ssd ? - no, MINI PCIE WIFI Interface only 4) is it stable ? - yes In...

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    Unfortunately I can not find any Mindstep web site and the chinese seller does not reply to any questions (the seller did not even provide drivers). So, I am basically on my own. I plan to build it in a M350 (or chieftec ix-01b) itx case.

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    I purchased and received the slim Micro-step SH61-L2 socket 1155 itx motherboard I talked about earlier. It works fine with a Celeron 1610T (for testing) and a GTX 960. Is there a way I can check if the bios supports the Intel Xeon e1220Lv2, before actually purchasing the expensive cpu ? The...

    Between 60 and 70 c in games (fans at 12v - silent anyway). Any particular game ?

    Pico PSU Requirements for an SFF build

    It is an old P3/AMD 1U/2U cpu cooler. I guess temps are relative, but load temp flattens out at 70c after a while in Furmark. Idle temp is 35c.
