Hi to everyone and thanks all for the tons of content.
As other users I want to build new computer and I've clear idea about the components:
Motherboard: Mini-ITX (Gigabyte GA Z170N WIFI)
Socket: Socket LGA 1151
CPU: 1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 4000 MHz Skylake-S
CPU Speed: 4000MHz
CPU Vcore: 1.2V
Memory: 2 x 16GB DDR4 Module (Crucial CT2K16G4DFD8213 32GB DDR4 2133MHz)
Video Card Set 1: 1 x NVIDIA GeForce 210
Storage: 1 x M.2 SSD (Samsung 950Pro NVMe M.2 512GB)
Storage: 1 x SATA 7.2K RPM (Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB)
PCI Express Card: 1 x WLAN Card (AzureWave AW-CE123H)
Other Device: 1 x USB 2.0 Device (usb TV tuner)
Keyboard: 1 x Standard Keyboard
Mouse: 1 x Standard Mouse
Fan: 2 x 140mm
No optical drive, no card reader and a very cheaper video card (probably silent edition)
just to have the possibility to connect more than one monitors or projectors.
(Wait, I really need a video card? May I use the cpu's integrated one in order to use more than one displays?)
Considering that I want to build the computer using the Authentics Lunar Waste Bin,
the very big question is: what about the PSU?
As I found out on this nice page the computer will use about 170 watts.
Computer Utilization: Always On (24/7)
Load Wattage: 170W
Recommended Wattage: 220W
Recommended UPS Rating: 400VA
I will choose a PSU system with minimum 300Watts.
So, in order to be able to fit all the components in the "tube case" and have a good airflow,
I'm starting to consider some different ways to find the better solution for the PSU.
- First of all I get some infos about the standards and commercial solution finding the FLEXatx.
Not bad, easy to replace (if I'll need in the future) and cheap but big and typically with 40mm fan which makes it quite noisy.
- Another way is considering to use the PicoPSU but the most powerful is only 200W and I need more power.
The strengths are the size and It works fanless. The weaknesses are the max power and I must use an external power brick (maybe two but I prefer to spend a little more for stuff like this). I can sort it out using 2 PicoPSU at the same time (in this case I can consider the opportunity to use the first PicoPSU with 200W for the CPU and the second with 160W for the rest of components like modo, ssd, hd and video card with help of pci-e riser) with the help of "add2psu" or a simple cable like this. This is not the easiest solution but It works on paper saving a lot of space inside the case.
- Or I can consider to use an M4-ATX or X7-ATX with the same power brick.
The X7-ATX has 2 different 12V lines, can be use like in the solution with double PicoPSU.
I never use this types of psu and I don't want waste money, so,
in your opinion and with your experience, what's the best solution?
Have I to consider other solutions or important details?
Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggestions or infos.
