[Mini-ITX] A6-3600 (4x2.1Ghz/2.4Ghz) + HD6530D

Oh ok....

I am back again. I finally got the A8-3820 (65W) processor today...

I plugged it in and tried to run the system with the Antec ISK300-65 stock brick.

First everything went okay. It booted into UEFI (BIOS).
Then all of the sudden the computer turned off. Black screen.

When I tried to turn it on again nothing happened. The after a minute or two I tried to turn it on again.
Then it did the same as it did in the very beginning with the A8-3850 APU. The CPU fan turned on and off and on and off and on and off and so on... No booting into BIOS anymore.

So it definitely seems like the 65W stock brick isn't doing the job with the A8-3820 (65W) APU.

In a couple of days I will get my PicoPSU with 160W. That will definetly do the job as the other 160W PSU from an old desktop computer did it too.

Cheers,

JJ

might be a weekness of the ISK300-65's 135w DCtoDC power converter....
if you read KraziJoe's post Here
you'll see that he's successfully using an A8-3870K APU
with an 100W PicoPSU !!

I'm glad that you finally noticed it........

If he stress his system, that 100W Pico PSU is not going to handle 3.0GHz quad-core and HD6550D very well........

The 160W Pico should be very appropriate for the A8-3850......

when i said 'weekness of the ISK300-65's 135w DCtoDC power converter'

i was referring to the fact that someone tried a 120w brick with it
and didnt seem to be able to handle the A8-3850 APU.

while KraziJoe's successfully using an A8-3870K APU with an 100W PicoPSU..

so, per se, the ISK300-65 + 120w brick should technically be able to handle a 100W TDP APU...
but its not somehow, there's got to be a weakness in its DCtoDC power converter...

Why not try the 130W brick? that way we can know it can be used. thanx

Hopefully once my one comes i'll use the 135w from the start. Hopefully it works

Lol just after i finished posting my apu and ssd and wifi just came
