Micro-ATX Power Supply

[CTX-SLPR]

Howdy folks,

 

Going to be converting my old desktop from it’s current beater PC guise into a home NAS.  It’s a micro-ATX board and I have an ancient micro-ATX case which specifically takes a micro-ATX power supply form factor.  

It’s an i5-2500 (non-K) and I’ll be turning down the voltage and multiplier as this is just a backup drive box, not a media server or anything

Intel P67 motherboard

3x WD Red 2Tb drivers

1x 500Gb laptop drive as a boot disc

GTX430 for setup till I can just control it over the network (no onboard graphics)

 

I’m looking for a power supply that will handle the load with efficiency as power consumption is a reason I’m not just going with my current mid tower case with older mid-range 500W supply.

 

Thanks

There is no such thing as mATX PSU, there's only ATX, SFX and TFX that follows ATX spec and is meant to run system like yours. You mean SFX? May not have enough SATA plugs though

I'm pretty sure mATX is just SFX.

This case is ancient, I built an Athlon 64 in it when they first came out.  Sounds like technology might have obsoleted the case and I’ll need to find another idea.

Pcpartpicker does list a few Micro ATX PSUs , at least on their USA site.

I'm not sure about the quality of them though - some of those brands are near the bottom of the tier list, if they're on there at all.

Just because I wanted to close this out, I checked the PS that came out of the case and it’s a SFX unit.  That opens things up quite a bit.

 

Thanks
