I am the recent recipient of a PicoPSU-120, courtesy of a VERY generous fellow [H]er. I have a compatible power brick, but it is only rated 12v 8a (~96w). I would derate that somewhat, because it is from eBay and does not have a manufacturer's name spelled out on it that I can find... (it was advertised as a "90w" power brick so I probably wouldn't want to put more than a 7.5a load on it).
I want to power the following off of this combination of brick and PicoPSU --
- an HP MOCA-AR Mini-ITX motherboard
- a T7200 C2D CPU
- a 256gb SSD
- three fans (not counting the CPU fan via the mobo), specifically a 40mm fan on the chipset HSF, a 60mm*15mm, and a 120mm*25mm.
- a USB WiFi card (probably a Rosewill RNX-N600UBE).
- a USB flash drive (Centon DataStick Pro, 32gb) on a very cheap USB hub (IOGEAR GUH285).
The flash drive is more-or-less permanently attached to a hub because it had Close Encounters Of The Doorframe Kind... bent the connector a goodly bit. Easier to plug/unplug the hub than the drive.
So what I'm kinda asking is, will I be okay with that load on that combination of stuffs, or do I really need to upgrade the 12v brick to a 120w model?
