Very small case and PicoPsu

[MerkBertmern]

Been looking at building a computer using a Pico-Psu (with 190W power brick) and compact case; assuming I put a 750ti in there (evga short card cooler) with a i5 4690S, how would the temps be reading? would they be super cool, boiling, borderline? anyone have experience in such tight cases?

 

If no one has advice on the case+ components specifically, does anyone has experience with pico-psu/similar small power supplies for <300Watts? what sort of components could you manage to get in on that power range?

 

for anyone with experience on those components, what case did you use them in, and did they run cool enough to not even worry about airflow?

I would recomend you use a blower style GPU to help disipate the heat.

only more high end gpu's have that

I'm gunna be frank, I have the 750ti installed in my zero-airflow 1-intake-at-the-front PC (running a dual core 2.6Ghz) and it generates barely any heat, obviously the wide open case i have would help but would less space really be so different?

Here is a build @ungreedy is doing inside of a NES using a Pico PSU and a slim 750ti if your interested in knowing more:

I Just say that because I saw a significant increase in temps (10c on CPU) in my Corsair 250D (A decently large case with lots of airflow) when I switched from a reference 680 to a EVGA 970 SC ACX 2.0. If you use an open cooler I would recommend you just make sure you have enough space for the air to flow around the GPU.

Ah thanks for the advice. I'll be surprised if the GPU/CPU gets starved of air, but I'll give it a closer look. sadly the don't have blowers for cards that small :[

Looks cool, checked out the pics and will have a look at the build log later tonight. thanks!
