Hey Guys,
Currently speaking with a PSU manufacturer about possibly doing something with a higher wattage per litre and higher efficiency (80 Plus Unobtanium?) than anything else out there. This is very likely not going to come to fruition, but they are talking to me and are interested in seeing if any of their current projects would transition easily into an SFF based power supply. Without naming names, this would make everything else look like something of a joke in terms of W per L. I'd like a few ideas on what people in the community would ideally like to see so I can convey those ideas to the manufacturer. What I've asked for so far is:
- Preferrably Flex ATX height and width (80mm x 40.5mm) with a depth of 150mm or less. I've also considered seeing if an SFX configuration (100mm x 65mm) with flexible depth for increased case compatibility, but didn't actually mention this yet.
- Flex ATX positioning of IEC 14 inlet
- Full modularity without a harness solution including 24 pin ATX, 8 pin EPS, 8 pin PCIe and 4 pin SATA/Molex
- High efficiency fanless or with 80mm x 15mm fan or less
I'm also planning to ask for
- 350W-500W rated
- Silent operation/Semi-fanless
- Common ATX pinout for easy use of aftermarket sleeved cables (Corsair/Silverstone?)
- Black enclosure
Again, this is probably going to turn out to be vapourware, but I'd love any input the community could provide
