What PicoPSU should i buy?

Post by Coderax » Tue Jul 31, 2012 12:18 am

Hello!

I´m planning to upgrade my 24/7 PC´s PSU.
PC configruation:
Intel G530 CPU
Gigabyte B75M-D3H motherboard
4x 4GB 1333Mhz 1.5v DDR3 RAM
2x Intel 1000 PCI NICs
2x WD 5400 Green harddrives
Also i am planning to add SSD

What PicoPSU should i buy?
I was looking picoPSU 90 + 120W AC/DC adapter combo, but does it have enough power to support my PC?
Or should i look for more powerful PicoPSU unit?

The 90W pico should be more than enough.

Thanks for the response!
Right now my PC consumes about 70-75W, but how could it be with PicoPSU?

My guess would be about 45W.

But it's hard to guess. Disks spun down, ethernet cables pulled you could get lower. :)
