    Power Supply AliExpress PicoPSU finds! The Good, the Awesome and the Bad!!!

    I think I can chime in.. My dynamo/hdplex 200w finally kicked the bucket after 5 years. Symptoms are mainly restarts, with freezes here and there. I moved to RGEEK-200WP and it worked fine for a year. I then upgraded my gpu to gtx1650 and enjoyed the bliss for about a month when it started...

    Power Supply A Guide to 12V PSU

    You really don't want to use LED psu. It *might* work for an apu setup, but it'll never work for >200W setup. As soon as the pc boots that 12V is gonna derail, fast. You can see for yourself if you got a multimeter. Just get a meanwell. EPP, RPS, even an LRS with a good +100W overhead. Sadly...

    Now that you mention it... Just put a car radiator next room and hook it up with quick connect or smth.

    Discussion Power hungry systems and SFF cases

    It's simple really. Just use 3 SFF cases, duh. One for psu, one for mobo + cpu, then one eGPU.

    The older I get the more precious time becomes. So these kind of proven things are starting to appeal more to me than fiddly look-at-it-sideways-aand-it's-broken hackery stuff that I used to love. If I ever buy 3d printer, it'll be a prusa.

    What did you do today?

    Folks at r/3dprinting, r/functionalprint, are mentioning that ender mfg is being dodgy by swapping parts for cheaper options. For example they no longer gives meanwell PSU, and sometimes the vent pattern doesn't even match the psu they sent so it chokes and overheats and shut itself off. One...

    Power Supply HDPLEX 250W GaN Passive AIO

    Curious about this as well. They always use aluminium extrusion for enclosure so they got fin-like protrusion that helps dissipate heat. Shots (or renders?) of the new 250W GaN atx only show one side where the outputs are and it's just smooth engraved surface.

    CPU Current status of HDplex 19 volt power supplies!

    There are all range of internal bricks; open frame to enclosed. Meanwell PSUs for example. They are available in adjustable voltage outputs. So getting 19V IN isn't exactly hard. Hdplex's acdc offering, while nice and robust, costs twice as much back then.

    Other Dedicated GPU issue or PSU or.. ?

    If it did not always do that in the past, then I'd strongly suggest looking into your PSU. Maybe get a spare or borrow from a friend, try it for a few days see if it does that again. I had same issues for months until I replaced my dc-atx plugin board. one more thing that comes to mind is...

    CPU Current status of HDplex 19 volt power supplies!

    Did Larry really said 12V? Now that is amazing news. No more 12V vs 19V wars. A single plugin board to rule them all. During my testing the old one, stated at 16-30V still works at 14V. Would be awesome if it can use 12V and run cooler at the same time. From business perspective, I get that...

    Power Supply HDPLEX 250W GaN Passive AIO

    Amazing news. Dimension is perfect to put behind the bezel of S4M, same height as an itx motherboard too. No more plugin board - not sure how I feel abt that... Gotta learn to love cables again
