Power Supply HDPlex AC-DC and DC-DC combo
- Thread starter Kmpkt
- Start date
With that said even SFX is too big... so is Flex... we need to push the AC-DC-DC combo envelope!
It would be cool if the 300w AC-DC and DC-DC combo could fit in the Sentry.
Pretty sure there is plenty of room for one. If you look at the clearance above the SFX-L on the Linus video as well as on the Zaber website, as well as the space for modular cables below it, 146mm should be fine. I actually find myself wondering if you could fit a 300W and 160W in the case and merge them using one of these to have 460W available to the DC-DC board:

Very interesting idea; definitely looks like two internal bricks could fit in there... that little controller can handle that much wattage/heat?
I believe it's rated at 20A total, 10A per channel at a maximum of 30V. @ 19V that is 380W, 190W per channel I believe. If it works, it'd probably be pretty easy to get one made for higher wattage with beefier components. I have one already and have been meaning to run my two HDPlex 160s through it for a while. Unfortunately my life is pretty busy between work and kids right now, so I rarely have enough time to do these things : (
Hi, I'm new in the forum... Please my I have an help:
Ok, this is a normal SFX Power supply yhat can handle 300W:

Haw many Watt could provide? 160W or 300W? I think 160W... Right?
And the second question:

That's correct. The names are a little confusing but the key bit is:
The AC DC turns wall power into something the PSU can use.
The DC ATX takes that power and turns it into something the computer can use.
Yes, but the second setup:

Looks as if the new 160W-DC-ATX is replacing their 160W AC-DC power board.

It is only labeled as 160W to match the 160W AC-DC unit but it is still capable of 200W.
It is listed as 200W peak, 160W continuous. If it is rated for 200W continuous I think he should list that and the list the actual peak power.
I get the naming convention issue and that is cool, and I understand even if he was going to say can do 200W permanently but no recommended, just want some clarity on it

But what is the powe difference of this:
http://www.hd-plex.com/HDPLEX-160W-DC-ATX-Power-Supply-16V-24V-Wide-Range-Voltage-Input.html
With 80W or 160W AC-DC?
The question is:
HDPLEX 160W DC-ATX + 80W AC-DC = ? Watt
HDPLEX 160W DC-ATX + 160W AC-DC = ? Watt
Thank you.
They both need to be rated for the amount you want to use.
160w + 80w = 80w
160w + 160w = 160w
Ok, the 160W rating is a bit conservative. They've tested it at 180W continuous with no issues but 200W continuous is questionable even with good airflow, so do at your own risk. So the 200W he quoted me earlier was a bit optimistic.
Full load current is rated at 15A for the 12V rail, so 180W does sound right.
I've noticed that the last model of the 160W DC-ATX is no longer on sale on their own website, so that's kinda interesting. Looks like HDPLEX is just focusing on direct-plug units for 160W power supplies now. I sometimes like to check the specs of my now-old DC-ATX as a reference but that page is not available anymore.
