I think that my new GAH110TN-M board is in need of a CPU upgrade from the Pentium G4500 I had here to get started with.
I currently have a 90W power brick that came with it which I may replace with a Silverstone 120W STX brick or a 160W HDPlex AC-DC unit when they are available again.
'T' series CPUs seem to be recommended for use on these power limited platforms, and that seems to make sense.
I understand that the TDP is capped to 35W and the standard clock speeds are reduced compared to their standard counterparts.
Is there any downside to an i5 'T'?
In the longer term,I'd like to make up a hybrid power supply and run an LP GTX1050Ti for some lightweight gaming, so would like some CPU grunt.
