Hey guys, just discovered this forum. Great source of knowledge and ideas.
I'm building a SFF system and when looking for small PSUs were astonished how little options there are, especially if you want to go brickless.
Now I came across this EPP-200-12 option which is looking nearly a little bit too good to be true. I have a 65tdp CPU and want to use a LP gtx 1050 ti. So i guess wattage wise I should be good.
Now I'm wondering how well this actually will work since the meanwell probably wasn't build to be used with computer hardware.
I mean the first thing you learn when building a computer is not to go with the cheap PSUs as they are supposed to be "ticking timebombs".
So what do you think? Will the EPP-200-12 be a "ticking timebomb" as well? Will it damage or reduce the lifespan of my hardware in the long run by not delivering a clean power source?
How does it compare in that terms to the HDPLEX 160W AC-DC "internal brick"? (I know the HDPLEX is 19 V but it serves a similar purpose I guess)
Hope to hear some opinions about that.
Cheers!
