Thank for the offer, I might be good to have some overseas for that, although this is going to be a tiny package, so worldwide shipping is cheap. The main benefit would be time it would be underway.

Yeah I figured as much. I will have to look into that for the next revision if only to prevent some janky ass china adapter that has 1Vpp ripple from destroying the GPU.

With regards to you turning up the output voltage on your meanwell. That is because you are compensating the voltage drop over the wires because of the high current and high wire resistance. Right?

Edit:
I just watched your 285 ITX mod video over on [H] and it's what you say, you have a pretty big voltage drop and hot wires because of the higher current and high resistance of the wire. either thicker gauge or more wires in parallel would've done the trick even better. I'm not a big fan of the enclosed type AC-DC PSU you are suggesting, meanwell is a good 2nd tier brand, they sit nicely between the awfull chinese powersupplies and the over engineered japanese ones. I've used a lot of different meanwells, from 120W up to 3000W beasts, good stuff ;p

That molex to 8-pin though, I loved it and it made me cringe at the same time
