Just an FYI for those who might be interested, the DC input jack is 5.5mm x 2.5mm, not the more common 5.5 x 2.1.


I was able to get a slim Dell XPS 15 130W brick to work, and the system ran stable on the Aida64 stress test.  It drew about 80W, with brief spikes of up to 83W.


What's weird is that the motherboard emitted some very noticeable coil whine when using the Dell XPS brick, but not when using stock.  It's really too bad, as the XPS brick is quite a bit smaller for similar power output.
