Sounds like it's performing well for you then? That's great! How is the noise? I haven't fussed around with soldering the 5v leads on mine yet....one of these days! I've been occupied with acquiring other parts for the build in meantime.

Ok that’s awesome! Great job. Super happy to see you’ve got it working. A few questions: 1) Did you just use 5V or 5Vsb for the Power Good pin or…? 2) Were the two red 5v wires the only soldering you did? 3) Did you just double/triple wire at certain pins at the adapter connectors as needed...

The ebay seller, which is out of Salem, NH USA, still has quite a few as well...

I'm betting if we dig deeper into this PSU that we'll find the supervisor IC chip. I have to think it would include a Power-OK/Power-Good signal, that we could solder up a wire to that runs to the 24-pin connector....but the question is whether it will be worth the hassle vs. the risk of just...

Why de-pin some and use an adapter for others? Wouldn’t it be easier to remove the pins for 12v, 5vSB and PW_ON from the 10-pin and pop them into the new 24-pin connector? Do we need to worry about the missing Power Good/Power OK pin at all? I’m very curious to know the solution they used in...

Here is the DC-DC controller chip on that daughter board. APW7159.pdf Here is the Typical Application Circuit in that PDF. It's showing nearly exactly what it's actually doing in this PSU. You can see there are two separate outputs via two inductors shown in this circuit (L1 and L2). You...

I just probed with a multimeter and discovered that there is in fact 5V present! And no, I’m not talking about the 5Vsb! That small DC-DC board on the top takes a 12V input and converts to both 3.3V and 5V. It’s just that only 3.3V is labeled/hooked up to any wiring. I’m not sure if there is...

Great find on that internal photo inside the FSP power supply! I'll be opening mine up when it arrives to look deeper inside. So I did a little more digging and research (ok way too much research actually...) I discovered there's another chassis option for the NUC9 Extreme compute element...

That's been on my watchlist for awhile, but had basically disregarded it after reading previous discussion about it not being compatible. With renewed optimism due to the modded unit, I just offered $20 (+ the $10 shipping) and it was accepted!

@Overtek I know you're pretty well versed in PSU mods, any thoughts on how this PSU is modded to add a 5V rail? perhaps it already generates 5V internally and just wasn't outputting it via the OEM cables and connectors?

Super nice of you to think of that option, but I’m far from having sufficient expertise! I would not feel comfortable opening up someone else’s PSU they just dropped money on. I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts on how it works once you’ve got it running. And perhaps someone...

Does anyone have any idea how that modular FSP500-30AS set up above is even possible? There was chatter long ago about this PSU (proprietary OEM from the Intel NUC9) and it was understood that it was not compatible with a standard 24-pin ATX motherboard. This was due to this PSU using a...
