the flux capacitor only requires 1.21 gigawatts tho,might over load it?

just wanted to share my last little molding project for now until i get every thing fitted in the case.

That bondo filler does wonders,   what brand of filler is it, I may have to remember to get some of that stuff for any future projects.

fiber glass bondo I'll snap a pic of it when i dig up my supplies. just remember always use a sanding block because this stuff is a lot tougher than regular bondo and you would end up sanding the plastic down first around the fiberglass with out using a block. I use oak blocks cut in to all shapes and sizes works great.

 

also seems to have worked awesome on the plastic I know normal bondo would of cracked like there was no tomorrow .

I have those helping hands (that's what they're called btw, not a soldering stand) and they do the job fine. Only thing I noticed was that the magnifying glass tended to make it tip over so I removed it.

[DigitalHermit]

very good guess. You are very fast to answer!

 

Did I get it right??

[ungreedy]

Did I get it right??

 

don't know until tomorrow. I get my kill-a-watt meter tomorrow.but now I might be in a dilemma  my A10-7850k setup I been using the ram out of has a buyer and going to be picking up when I get home from work. so the only way I can test now is to take the ram from my main PC. I don't want to do that but knowing me i'll do it anyway 

 

But the bright side is now I have funds for my GPU and low profile ram!!! WoooHooo

here you go!

got my kill a watt , and was able to do some tests before I lose my ram. I can say I am really happy with the results. I will post them later when i have more time. any else want to take a crack at the total system wattage before I post? 

 

one hint it's under 95w

 

test was- prime 95 blend

system specs as of test

 

CPU g3258 @4.0ghz 1.1volts

High voltage ram 2x 4gb 1.65v

5400 rpm 2.5 hdd

2 silent 7 70mm fans

TDP of CPU 53W+10W(overclock)

Fans 2W

HDD 2W

RAM and system 15W

 

Around 80-85 Watts??

[ungreedy]

ok well its results time,

 

well with the watt meter just hooked up to the xbox power brick the brick itself consumes 5.5 watts it does have a fan and the 5v line is jumped on it. Jumping the 5 volt line is the way you mod the brick to work as a 12v power supply.

so i think it would be a safe bet to minus 5 watts from the totals .you can be the judge.

 

just the brick- 5.5w

 

idle- 32.5w (fixed watts =27.5w)

 

load- 74w(fixed watts = 68.5w)

the brick

idle

load

test setup ,sorry about the mess only had like 30 minutes to do this

Do you think you'll have enough headroom for that GPU? And how are you going to power it, doesn't the Pico only have a molex extension?

[ungreedy]

Yes I do the pico is max load at 160 watts and 200w peak. The gpu is only 60w max load and is powered through the pcie lane no other power needed!

 

So with low voltage ram added in I should lose 2-4 more watts and + 60w for load with my gpu. All together 125- 128.5watts on %100 gpu/cpu load! Not that bad

That's pretty great

[ungreedy]

That's pretty great

Two of my wife's lamps will use more watts lol

[ObilvionNizer]

Any more pictures??

[ungreedy]

Any more pictures??

all kinds what would you like ,working on the power switchs right now .need some epoxy to finish.

[ungreedy]

also got a blue led but the wrong voltage ,ill get the right one tomorrow with some epoxy to finish this project!

I'm drooling over that power consumption..

I'm sure it has some kind of overload protection, worst case scenario, it might trigger a fuse of some sort...or you might end up in the Jurassic era.
