Looking for a 200w Pico PSU

CaptainKlark
Go to solution Solved by razor767,

Although most 750 TIs do not require a PCI-E connector, that particular card does require a 6 pin PCI-E connector.  

 

Both Nvidia and EVGA state that 300w is the minimum recommended amount. 

 

If your looking for a small form factor PSU, I'd go for a 300w SFX PSU.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Pico Psu that was able to output 200w of power with a 24-pin mobo connector, a 4-pin cpu connector, and an additional 6-pin Pci cable for a gpu.

I am looking to use it to power this build:

Thanks,

Are you sure 200 watts is going to be adequate for that 750 Ti?

750 TIs don't even need 6pin power, they can run off the mobos power

 

OP iv'e never heard of pico, for PSUs its best to go with well known brands, heres a good $45 psu :)

The list said that 182w was the estimated consumption, although I did check, and nvidia recommends 300w for system power.

I know that the evga ftw version that I am running has a 6pin slot in it. Would it run at decreased performance with just the mobo's power?

if it requires external power from a 6pin cable, it wont run at all if it doesn't have that and may even fry your motherboard

I think Pico refers to the size. I was looking for one of the psu's that have a 12v input from a power brick. I would go with something like a 400w psu from a good brand (ie corsair) but I am looking to make a small form factor pc in a custom case. I'd prefer not to use a huge psu.

 

It simply wouldn't turn on without the 6-pin.

Right. Makes sense.

Looks like a good option. Thanks!
