Well, it is time to smash Antec PSU and it's time to enjoy the movie then.......Nod

If you want to stress your A8, try watching blu-ray movie while transcoding blu-ray file using HandBrake.......

Thanks for the props. I am happy to help and happy to hear the 120-WI-25 worked out so well for you. My 120-WI-25 is happily powering my office PC right now. In the past it's powered my home server and at least two different HTPCs. I switch around and test out/built out so much different hardware it's seen a lot of different use!

Hey beer quick question, is there any way you could mount a slim optical drive in you're build as it is at the moment?

Long story short it looks like my CPU cooler is about to die and am considering switching it for the one you used instead. My only concern is I plan to add an optical drive too and not sure if I can have both!


RE: Antec ISK 300-90 picoPSU HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! - MrKay - 2012-05-15 22:41

Yeah i couldn't believe Dougie the 120w works so far i tested crysis a little bit. On high on all settings and the power meter was showing around 70watts to 80watts i thought it should be like 110 at least. I will try battle field 3 this week just to see if it can handle the game and see what the power meter say's about the watts. Now i need to get the 5.1 working. Done most of eskro's Optimize your SSD settings only one's i have not done yet are page file,windows logo animation,windows solid color. i read some where that if i do the page file with my 4gb there will be a problem with games does anyone know if this is true? i will be upgrading to an 8gb if this will help tho or i'll just stay will 4gb if i have no problems with game's

I think it's gonna be hard to do that without the bracket unless your good at modding. Not like my self that breaks things lol. But u can have an external bd drive that's what am gonna do because there more better and cheaper and faster bd write speeds

APU + picoPSU is a pretty amazing thing.
