What is PICO PSU? || Introduction to PICO power supply

[@RosalvoParadella]

Era o vídeo que eu estava procurando. Pretendo comprar essa fonte para colocar no meu teclado musical Solton MS50. Ele precisa de alimentação 5v, -12v, +12v direto na placa mãe. Acho que vai ser um ótimo upgrade, até para reduzir o peso físico do trafo que ele precisa internamente.

Great video, good explanation. Thanks!

[@growlithe4710]

Amazing video! Thanks for

[@karohamalainen176]

Is it possible to use pico psu without the 24pin connector? I have 4 hdd case that i need to power up only the drives. Or is there any other kind of psu that would be better?

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Can you run them in parallel to double the power?

[@lufe4511]

Great video! Thank you!

[@pc66ghz]

where store you'd bought this 12v and 12 amp psu?

[@viteslavjedlicka7138]

hello exist dc-dc power suply for gaming pc ?!

[@YaFunklord]

I have 2x 300W picopsus, neither will power on a low power Intel n100 motherboard that works fine with a normal PSU. Without load the outputs all show correct voltages. What could the problem be?

[@Ariiherdiyan]

What is the spec of your external power brick?

[@Krzak333]

I have similar poblem with 300W rgeek picopsu. Replaced him with cheapest aliexpress 160W picopsu and now everything works. That cheap psu is not that bad. I have low power system with i5 10500 and the temps of psu are 42 degrees max. There is small chance that powergood signal is not send properly in rgeek. Or there is no -12V needed for motherboard to power... old serial ports. Even when there is no serial port on backplate it can be on motherboard itself (goldpins)

[@YaFunklord]

@@Krzak333 I will try to order one of those...

[@joaqo5]

what good is it if you still need a frigging power brick???

[@tayflintstoner2873]

No PSU sound, which is a huge issue for small builds, especially the very loud Flex ATX PSUs. Plus it is very small so you can fit it in ultra small cases that are designed for stuff like this. I don't like the idea of a separate brick either but there is a use case for it.

[@m.laraibali3266]

If you are tinkerer, you can replace barrel connector of psu with type c if you want. Again you would need to provide such power via compatible type c. Also if you have solar or some DC source you can get adaptors to use that DC without need of brick

[@josesing2160]

Excellent video, very good, congratulations!! One question, does the power of the 12v external charger have to be greater than the Pico PSU source? For example, Pico PSU of 200 watts and external charger 12v of 250 watts of power, is that correct? thanks

[@ItsTimeToBuildIt]

Technically yes, power brick must have the same or higher rate than the psu, or else the pico wouldn't have enough juice.

[@josesing2160]

@@ItsTimeToBuildIt Thanks for replying, these PSU power supplies only have a 4-pin connector for the CPU? My motherboard is an MSI B460i and the power supply connector for the CPU on this motherboard is 8-pin. Wouldn't the Pico PSU power connector have to be 8-pin? In your video shows the PSU Source with 4-pin connector. thanks

[@ItsTimeToBuildIt]

@@josesing2160 like i mentioned in the video, you need a converter from 4-pin to 8-pin.

[@pencaricara]

can be use in the motherboar HP6000?

[@maherjl9201]

Can i run it from my car battrey

[@stephen.cabreros]

does this work in your end?

[@gamiwv]

I bought one from ali...... and tried to operate it out of mother board in the usual way (sort circuiting the green cable terminal to the black ground terminal) . Never started. I couldn't find the +5VSB or any other. I don't know it the specific device is a faulty one or if needs some load to start operate. Any advice is welcome

[@ItsTimeToBuildIt]

You need the right power brick to give it power, but if you already have one i'm afraid you've got a faulty device.

[@gamiwv]

@@ItsTimeToBuildIt yes I have one 12 VDC 5A (12,1VDC till 4,1A). I'll try to follow the 12V line. Do you have any schematics for this brick ? It's the one with ISL6440 control chip.

[@ItsTimeToBuildIt]

I'm afraid 5A is not enough to push it, you need at least 12.5A

[@gamiwv]

@@ItsTimeToBuildIt12.5 A with NO LOAD ?

[@ItsTimeToBuildIt]

You need 12V with 12.5A

[@andersandersson7996]

Can you conect it directly to a car battery?

[@74Noose]

no.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

Do they make a 400w one?

Not in this form factor, but there are SFX PSUs. I think I have seen one of those in the video with 240 or 300W, but it was bigger.

[@AutodidactEngineer]

@ i wonder is there an adapter to run two of these "pico 300w psu" in paralel for 2x the power? Lol

[@aleksandre5823]

@@AutodidactEngineer you can through a PSU splitter

[@AutodidactEngineer]

@@aleksandre5823 oh s**t is that a thing!? Thanks for pointing it out!

[@theodorathanasiadis6629]

HD plex but it is expensive.

[@AnKlMa]

What about the GPU power supply?

[@federiconovelli6796]

You need a more powerfull psu... This is used mainly for apu

There is no 6 pin connector, because this thing doesn‘t have the power for this. Depending on the design, which can be different for these Chinese PSUs, it can have 8A on 3.3/5V and 22A on 12V (if the 12V input is directly connected to the 12V rail of this thing).

[@Vodnik110]

You might be able to downgrade your GPU in favour of a gpu that gets it's power from the pcie slot such as the Nvidia 1650 GPU

[@axelkusanagi4139]

WTF is even the point then if it still needs a huge external PSU?! There's nothing Pico about it.

[@GoogleDoesEvil]

Don't need an external PSU if you're using it on a 12v DC system.

[@traviscornett1963]

The point is to remove the PSU from the case to make very small PC builds possible.
