My laptop brick is only 90w would that work with a 120w pico Confused

?

depends on your laptop brick specs...

picoPSU's need 12v bricks...

your trying to power a 100W TDP APU using a 65W PSU!!
dont do that!!

either drop to the 65W TDP A6-3500 APU and use the ANTEC ISK300-65 htpc case

or buy the ANTEC ISK300-150 htpc case + A6-3650 APU

or get the ANTEC ISK300-65 htpc case + 135W power brick + A6-3650 APU

Hi eskro,

Since the AMD A8-3850 APU, 2.9GHz has the better graphics in it I decided to go with this one. And it's only about 10 bucks more than the A6-3650 APU.

Well, you suggested that I could take the ANTEC ISK300-65 htpc case + 135W power brick + A6-3650 APU. Since the A8 takes the same amount of power (100W) as the A6-3650 I would suppose that this combination works too, right?

The problem is I did not find a 135W brick for a reasonable price here. I only found a 120W universal brick which I bought for 20$. Will this work too?

Have a great day...

Jarjar

yes $120 will work. but 135W is what i recommend.

So the AMD A8-3850 and the A6-3500 are they same quality in picture wize?

Well I own a 6450 GPU and the 3500 .....

1080P movies look the same to my eye!
