Has anyone powered a full ATX computer using USBC with one of these?  Looking at something to power the "server" off a power station for as long as possible.  Turning on AC uses 15w just by itself plus about 15% loss in conversion.  The machine pulls 40-60w under typical loads that makes a huge difference.

 

This a 12600k running low power BIOS settings, Proxmox, 2 960GB optane drives, 110G optane for OS and a 2.5Gbit NIC.  No video card, drives, etc.

 

BTW: I put my tv tuner on another unit.  on AC it would run 17 hours.  on USBC it maxes the screen out at 99 hours!
