Discussion Pico PSU + HDplex AC - DC

[denywinarto]

Hi, i plan on changing inwin chopin's psu and after reading this :

Chopin w/ an HDPlex 200W

Hi all, I'm attempting my first basic case mod and could use a little input. I really dig the inwin chopin case for its size, but I'd like to be able to put some higher end, higher TDP cpus in it, and for this the 150W stock power supply just doesn't cut it. So I started looking around for...

smallformfactor.net

apparently that combination doesnt work,
so i'm thinking of using Pico PSU to plug it directly to the motherboard so that there's a room for the DC-AC converter.
Any potential issue with using 2 different brand like this?

Plan on building APU case and Inwin Chopin is the only case that ticks all the boxes..
J-hack isnt available.. and other cases are too big

Why would you need to upgrade the power supply with an APU?

? When did i say that? I said i want to build an apu case. And inwin chopin is the most ideal one ive seen so far. But the one i own has been around for years so im thinking might as well replace the psu when i upgrade the apu
