Normal
Thanks for the feedback! I am currently using an SF450 but after running a Kill-A-Watt my rig is only pulling 115W while running Haven on extreme. Idle is usually 55-60W. I have been mulling over getting an HDPLEX 160W or PicoPSU, but I've also been thinking about swapping out my graphics card for a single slot RX 460 and trying to fit (2) 3.5" drives underneath. For that I'd want a little bit beefier PSU - either an HDPLEX 250 or something similar.I've heard bad things about the FlexATX units, but have also heard that if you get a large capacity with a semi fan less mode they can never turn on for most of the time if not trying to run a monster card. Pretty sure I'd like to go with a brick system in the attempt to pack 2x 8tb drives. Also been looking at different cases that would fit inside my Pelican 1490.
