    Era o vídeo que eu estava procurando. Pretendo comprar essa fonte para colocar no meu teclado musical Solton MS50. Ele precisa de alimentação 5v, -12v, +12v direto na placa mãe. Acho que vai ser um ótimo upgrade, até para reduzir o peso físico do trafo que ele precisa internamente.

    Is it possible to use pico psu without the 24pin connector? I have 4 hdd case that i need to power up only the drives. Or is there any other kind of psu that would be better?

    I bought one from ali...... and tried to operate it out of mother board in the usual way (sort circuiting the green cable terminal to the black ground terminal) . Never started. I couldn't find the +5VSB or any other. I don't know it the specific device is a faulty one or if needs some load to start operate. Any advice is welcome

      You need the right power brick to give it power, but if you already have one i'm afraid you've got a faulty device.

    Excellent video, very good, congratulations!! One question, does the power of the 12v external charger have to be greater than the Pico PSU source? For example, Pico PSU of 200 watts and external charger 12v of 250 watts of power, is that correct? thanks

    • @ItsTimeToBuildIt
      @ItsTimeToBuildIt  2 роки тому

      Technically yes, power brick must have the same or higher rate than the psu, or else the pico wouldn't have enough juice.

      @@ItsTimeToBuildIt Thanks for replying, these PSU power supplies only have a 4-pin connector for the CPU? My motherboard is an MSI B460i and the power supply connector for the CPU on this motherboard is 8-pin. Wouldn't the Pico PSU power connector have to be 8-pin? In your video shows the PSU Source with 4-pin connector. thanks

      No PSU sound, which is a huge issue for small builds, especially the very loud Flex ATX PSUs. Plus it is very small so you can fit it in ultra small cases that are designed for stuff like this. I don't like the idea of a separate brick either but there is a use case for it.

      If you are tinkerer, you can replace barrel connector of psu with type c if you want. Again you would need to provide such power via compatible type c. Also if you have solar or some DC source you can get adaptors to use that DC without need of brick

      Not in this form factor, but there are SFX PSUs. I think I have seen one of those in the video with 240 or 300W, but it was bigger.

      I have similar poblem with 300W rgeek picopsu. Replaced him with cheapest aliexpress 160W picopsu and now everything works. That cheap psu is not that bad. I have low power system with i5 10500 and the temps of psu are 42 degrees max. There is small chance that powergood signal is not send properly in rgeek. Or there is no -12V needed for motherboard to power... old serial ports. Even when there is no serial port on backplate it can be on motherboard itself (goldpins)

      There is no 6 pin connector, because this thing doesn‘t have the power for this. Depending on the design, which can be different for these Chinese PSUs, it can have 8A on 3.3/5V and 22A on 12V (if the 12V input is directly connected to the 12V rail of this thing).

    Estimating the power of pcpartpicker is really bad. I realize this video is 3 years old, but it told me my config for a NAS draws around 205W of power....
    In idle I got it down to around 28W, which is close to 1/10th of the powerdraw pcpartpicker said. Even under load, it never got above 100W.
    Comparing the size of the pico psu against a normal PSU but leaving out the external power brick you´ll still need is a bit disingenious.
