20-pin is fine for APU......if you ever want to crossfire "AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics" in the future, you might run into problem with 20-pin........just a thought!

This one "PicoPSU-150-XT ATX Mini Power Supply + 108 W Adapter" have the round DC connector with 24-pin ATX connector......

Ok thank you guys the 90w PICO Rocks.....

That is what I thought if your are going to crossfire you need the 24 PIN......

Thanx......

Been running the 20 PIN 350 ATX for the past hours no problems..... Just making sure.....

Ok thank you.

It's crazy all this headaches came down to the crappy antec power supply.

I think that we are asking too much of the internal 65W PSU.....it's probably over-powered by AMD APU......it's probably fine for the CPU with 35w ranges......

If you recall CptHook in this thread "XBMC Slim-2100", he is still enjoying it.......the wrong case "Antec 300-150" that he bought for his A6-3500 is still working fine too.....

Could anyone tell me if a picoPSU could power this set up:

Zotac NM10-FE with 2GB DDR2 RAM (http://www.zotac.com/pdbrochures/mb/NM10...5)_v1.pdf)
XFX Radeon HD 6450 625M 1GB DDR3
2.5" SATA Hard Drive (Not SSD)

Also would I be able to do 3D 1080p playback with that setup using openelec?

Thanks.

So, basically if we build the A6-PACK, but want to add a slim blu-ray or DVD burner, I need an additional molex to sata like this?

Having a hard time figuring this (from the pico90W specs)
[Image: picopsu90-90w-acdc-lg.jpg]
2x peripheral connectors (1x 4 pin molex/IDE/PATA and 1x SATA) (so this would be the 4pin white crap, and a sata power for the SSD)
1x P4 connector (this would be for the mobo)

This might be more suitable- picoPSU-120/10A 120W AC-DC + 6in LP4 to LP4 SATA Power Y Cable Adapter

For a slim blu-ray burner you need "Slimline SATA to SATA with LP4 Power Cable Adapter " that looks like this:

[Image: SlimSATA.jpg]

The 2-pin molex on the cable connects to the 4-pin molex power on the picoPSU and the SATA cable to one of the SATA ports on your motherboard. The other end plugs into the bluray drive.

I usually get mine from monoprice.com or Amazon.com, e.g.: http://www.monoprice.com/products/produc...1&format=2

Oh really, never saw those slim sata connectors before. Thanks for the tip! But would I need the 120psu bluray is talking about or I would be fine with a pico90?
Thanks guys so much! Smile
