I finally found a low power x86 computer. I know I can have a ARM Beagle Board or similar with 2W power consumption but I prefer to stay with x86 CPU. I just receive today a Wyse C30LE thin client that I will use as a normal PC with any Linux OS. This is the same as C00LE , C50LE or C90LE the differ...

I do not understand both AC adapters use the 5.5x2.5mm and also the motherboard so it should fit. Did you pushed hard enough?

Yes, I know I may JUST squeeze into the 130W but I would really prefer to have some margin. For example I am not sure how much power Blu-ray burner draws. Some Sony specs state: POWER CONSUMPTION +5V 1.4A max., +12V 1.5A max. which is quite a lot. But that may be just peak power and also it is for ...

If you want to use a i5-661 and 5570 that will be 60W + 40W so you can still have 20W for one green HDD and a DVD for a max power consumption of 120W so I think that one of my PSU will be enough and it will be a bit less than 50$ shipped to Europe. The idle power of your system will be about 35 to 4...

I need to agree with Mike that if you need a 220W PSU you will need at least a fan.
Can you give a description of what you want to power with this PSU.

Hi Regis, Thanks for this info is possible to let me know the name of the distributor. I also asked two different distributors some 6 or more months ago and the price for this 220W version was over 200$/PCS only one of the two distributors answered. you got a much better price are you sure you got t...

That is what I have now. Since I don't have the equipment to modify the pinout of that LI Shin, do you have any other suggestions on what I should replace it with? Others have reported that this AC adapter have the right pin-out for winmate probably you got some different AC adapter if you can find...

U2311H No reviews out there, yet...and still only 82% CIE gamut (100% sRGB). Not bad there is also the U2211H the 22" version 1.5" less with the same IPS and 22W typical. And Dell is not an LCD panel manufacturer so I expect to see more IPS LCD on the market this year. For now I will keep my NEC 20...

I ordered the LI Shin 0226A20160 20V 8A 4-PIN DIN Plug AC Adapter, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220595790610 This is what you have now or you ordered another one? From what I know this 160W Li-Shin have the right pinout. When the LED on power brick is off it mean that you have...

Hello Mr. electrodacus, I would like to ask you if there is any chance you will be selling also the DD-2412AX or DD-WP12AX-220 220W DC-DC power supply form Winmate? (I cannot post liks yet but the PSUs can be found on Winmate web site) EDIT: Let me answer my own question by quotation: ... after thi...

Although I received my 130w circuit earlier in the week, I ordered the 150w laptop power adapter separately and it didn't arrive until last night. After plugging everything in I hit the power button and instead of the gentle hum of a computer starting up I just get silence. I traced all the cables,...

Thanks for the reply. I still got some more questions: 1. Why 90W only if I use 2.5mm plug? So I can't use a 150W ac adaptor if I use 2.5mm plug? 2. Will you send me the P4 connector as well? Am I need to DIY the cable by myself? 3. What's the diameter of the 4 pin din connector? Is it 2.5mm? Thank...

I got a question, if my itx case can only allow me to plug a 2.5mm dc jack, can your extension cable fit it? You can use a 2.5mm plug if you use less than 90W There are two way you can supply my ATX PSU one is through 4 pin din connector and the other using a P4 connector http://www.electrodacus.co...

I did not read everything but the reason you see no change is that the motherboard will under-volt the CPU automatically depending on use so at idle the CPU will be 0.8 to 1V depending on the CPU but when the CPU is loaded 100% the voltage will go back to 1.2V or what is the default setting. If you ...

Yes the 220W AC adapter is a good buy.

Electrodacus, Check out the 150W Liteon PA-1151-03MS (ebay Item number: 280397609323) http://cgi.ebay.com/LiteOn-19V-7-9A-150W-4Pin-AC-Power-Adapter-PA-1151-03MS-/280397609323?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Laptop_Adapters_Chargers&hash=item4148fff96b . Do you think the pin-out is compatible with Winmate? I could...

electrodacus, I only saw the DC-DC converter boards available from your ebay listings. Which adapter is included with the Y5 package and is it still available for purchase? If it's not available, do you have a specific model that you recommend to pair with your boards? I believe ebay item #22059579...

OK done you can see the details here Link for the dual PSU kit and they are ready to sell.
Sorry for the long wait.

Finally I made the cables and photo so you ca buy this dual PSU kits. I have only 7 complete kits and I did not decided if I will build more but you can find all necessary parts on eBay. You can find the cable I used on eBay the ATX Y cable 9" is the eBay item number 360214602674 and the P4 Y cables...

Thanks for testing. and Yes 4550 is better because it uses DDR3 so memory bandwidth is the most important factor at least for the ATI cards. Is a bit stupid that they pair powerful GPU with much slower memory so that the GPU is less than 20% or 30% utilization. My card will get 2800 at 600/450 so ju...

Sorry, I will build the cables and by next week they will be on sale as a kit. Did you list these yet? I'm not in a rush, so no need to hurry, but I also don't want to miss out when you do sell them. :) I started to make the cables but did not have time for the photos and maybe I will just sell the...

Those will work I do not know if the double tape will be enough the PSU is about 120g so not that light but I thing it will work with glue.

Okay, i gotta ask b4 something blows.. would it be ok to just connect the pin to a 5V source? Is the resistor very necessary? I really am not an expert when it comes to elecricity, I'm pretty much way over my head in this project.. You need a resistor to limit the current to max 20mA to be safe so ...

This is how I did. Is just that I have a SFX case. If other have other solutions hope they will add some photos.
You can see some more photos to this Link

I did, actually all those test were done without the monitor. Doesn't budge. But after some more careful measuring, it seems to pico gives 3.3v (not 2.3) on the pwr_ok pin after startup. It seems to me that the motherboard expects 5v. Electrodacus, how is this signal with the winmate? Also, I measu...

Sorry but is not true You will measure Apparent Power [VA] not Real Power [W]. Real Power will always be smaller or equal with Apparent Power. But Apparent Power can be used as a reference if you do not want to spend the money for a "Kill a Watt".

Still not working.. I measured the voltages off the pico, especially the pwr_ok pin. This doesn't seem to be ok. The pico gives about 2.2v on pwr_ok, but my atx psu has it at around 5v. Is this picopsu simply faulty? I guess that the 5V on your PcoPSU is less than needed probably the monitor is to ...

It make no sense to pay much more for the AEF100PS19, all recommended above are about 90% efficient so the 3% difference will never pay off.

I have just order one of these boards via eBay. Now I'm looking for a suitable brick from the UK. One question, do you know if input voltage affects the efficiency of the board? Does it make much difference if I use an 18, 19 or 24V brick? Simeon Lower input voltage will give a bit better efficienc...

I thought you meant you were going to build 7 of the cables shown in the picture from earlier. I can do it myself if I'm mistaken about the cables. Should I buy a Y2 and the Y1 to get 2 Winmates without having a complete set of duplicate cables? Sorry, I will build the cables and by next week they ...
