Mini-Box picoPSU-80 80 watt Output 12 volt Input DC-DC Power Supply

Used with Intel D2500CCE mini-ITX in an M 350 Universal ITX case with a 5A 12V power brick and it works great with a 2.5" SATA SSD.As mentioned it is only a 20 pin ATX connector not 24 but the extra 4 pins are redundant 3.3V, 5V, 12V1 and ground. This supply won't put out enough current to need the extra pins and it worked fine on the D2500CCE which has a 24 pin connector. The 150W and 160W picoPSU's have 24 pin connectors and these and everything larger than 80W have 12V Aux connectors if you need them.The unit fits in the M350 case with plenty of space to spare for drives mounted above it. Very little heat is generated and it only draws about 2A off the 12V supply with the system above. Total power draw at the plug is about 15W when not idling according to my Kill-A-Watt meter. Works great in this low power application and seems to have plenty of power to spare.

I swapped the crappy 250W power supply that came with my server's case for this.I am running an N3700-ITX motherboard ("Pentium," which really is just a quad core Atom), 3 WD 3.5 Red drives and an SSD for the system drive. The peak load at startup is around 40W, so this handles it just fine. My system pulls between 12W at idle and around 25W when I'm transferring files to my RAID array, so I"m well within the capacity of this power supply. My idle consumption was at 19W on the old supply, so it's impressive that this is using only 2/3 as much power. Yes, I know that it will take years for it to pay for itself, but that's not my main priority. I like to make sure that any electronics I need to run 24x7 are using as little power as possible.If one selected the right components, I believe that you could easily power a nice i3 system off of this or possibly even a very low power i5.

Great little supply, when paired with the power brick. But, I'm using a mini-ITX mobo with an Intel i3 chip. The gigabyte board requires a P4 supply for separate power for the CPU. Mini-box offers such as cable for $1.25 here (...), but it's not bundled in with this and I can't find it anywhere but the manufacturer site. I was able to make my own out of other parts I had lying around. I'm subtracting a star because it's been so difficult to get this $1.25 add-on.I can find other cables that would work by tapping off of the extra 4 pin plug for the disk drive [...] but without documentation I was afraid of tapping off of the same cable to give power to the P4 supply, when the supply is designed with a separate header for the P4 connector.If you don't need the P4, or can get the cable or make one yourself, I'd recommend this. I haven't had any troubles with it over the four days I've been using it. If you do need the P4, I'd recommend the 90w version PicoPSU-90, Cyncronix 90W 12V DC-DC ATX mini-ITX - would've saved me some hassle.

I'm sure this is a great product IF you need a 20 pin power supply. Guess I'm stuck with it though, since after shipping costs it's not worth my time to return it...Please put "20 pin" in title or description...

This is a fantastic product for tinkerers, electronic engineers, or people living off grid. It allows you to operate an average computer (not a gaming computer) directly off of DC power. Why would you want that? Well, it is more efficient than converting from AC power so if you are running a crypto currency mining rig or running your house off of solar and every watt counts then this will save money over time.It also takes up a lot less space than a normal PSU so you can put this in a very small case.The only uncertainty for me is how long this will last. Since this is a niche product and doesn't have much competition I don't know how well tested and proven this is for reliability for many years.

This PSU worked perfectly for my HTPC that is using a mini ATX KB 5200 motherboard with AMD quad core 2.0Ghz, with 8GB 1600 RAM, PNY 240 GB SSD, Sapphire R7 240 1GB and 4TB WD Red. Idle consumes 25watts, and full load 58 watts. Running Plex on this machine and it adds about $2.35 extra on my electric bill ($.12 per KWH). This computer is close to complete silent due to just needing 1 x 120mm fan that is 19db when full tilt. Been running this PSU for 4 months with 2 reboots (updates) and still running strong.

I really screwed myself on buying this product. Im sure it is a perfectly working product, but I needed the version for a normal ATX board, which I believe is 24 pins? Either way, this product left 4 of my mother board power supply pins unoccupied. I need to go through the trouble of buying a new one now. I wish that the description of the product stated more clearly that this is not for normal mother boards, or that it is for older motherboards or something. I cant even find a board that has the 20 pin connector.Anyways... I cant say anything bad or good about the product it self because I never got to even try it.

I love the picoPSUs. This particular one went in a VIA system that didn't need the supplemental 12V connection for the processor. If you have an Intel board (or AMD), I'd recomment getting the 90 watt version that has the cable built in. I purchased another one of this 80 watt for an Intel Celeron system without realizing it lacked it and spent far more on the adapter cable to go from Molex to 12V that I would have spent just buying the 90 watt. These are extremely efficient, and truly, very small. They also make zero noise which is very nice.
