Mini-Box picoPSU-80 80 watt Output 12 volt Input DC-DC Power Supply

Used with Intel D2500CCE mini-ITX in an M 350 Universal ITX case with a 5A 12V power brick and it works great with a 2.5" SATA SSD. As mentioned it is only a 20 pin ATX connector not 24 but the extra 4 pins are redundant 3.3V, 5V, 12V1 and ground. This supply won't put out enough current to need the extra pins and it worked fine on the D2500CCE which has a 24 pin connector. The 150W and 160W picoPSU's have 24 pin connectors and these and everything larger than 80W have 12V Aux connectors if you need them. The unit fits in the M350 case with plenty of space to spare for drives mounted above it. Very little heat is generated and it only draws about 2A off the 12V supply with the system above. Total power draw at the plug is about 15W when not idling according to my Kill-A-Watt meter. Works great in this low power application and seems to have plenty of power to spare.

It's really hard to calculate your wattage need - my calculations were in the mid/high 60ies so I went for the 80W. For about 2 years this has run a small ITX hypervisor with a small SSD and as much memory as I could put in the very small box. It's worked great but a few times I've found it powered off for no reason what so ever. Last week it gave up powering on. PSU etc. tests just fine outside the motherboard - and everything does turn on for a second or so, so the unit is just too small. I've enjoyed the quiet running for years - if that's important, go for it. But be careful using this for high performance, gaming would be part of that. Add more than just 10-15W buffer to your PSU if you do.

This PSU worked perfectly for my HTPC that is using a mini ATX KB 5200 motherboard with AMD quad core 2.0Ghz, with 8GB 1600 RAM, PNY 240 GB SSD, Sapphire R7 240 1GB and 4TB WD Red. Idle consumes 25watts, and full load 58 watts. Running Plex on this machine and it adds about $2.35 extra on my electric bill ($.12 per KWH). This computer is close to complete silent due to just needing 1 x 120mm fan that is 19db when full tilt. Been running this PSU for 4 months with 2 reboots (updates) and still running strong.

I swapped the crappy 250W power supply that came with my server's case for this.I am running an N3700-ITX motherboard ("Pentium," which really is just a quad core Atom), 3 WD 3.5 Red drives and an SSD for the system drive. The peak load at startup is around 40W, so this handles it just fine. My system pulls between 12W at idle and around 25W when I'm transferring files to my RAID array, so I"m well within the capacity of this power supply. My idle consumption was at 19W on the old supply, so it's impressive that this is using only 2/3 as much power. Yes, I know that it will take years for it to pay for itself, but that's not my main priority. I like to make sure that any electronics I need to run 24x7 are using as little power as possible. If one selected the right components, I believe that you could easily power a nice i3 system off of this or possibly even a very low power i5.

I'm sure this is a great product IF you need a 20 pin power supply. Guess I'm stuck with it though, since after shipping costs it's not worth my time to return it... Please put "20 pin" in title or description...

I used this as a PSU for a mini JAMMA arcade system. It did the job and I've had no issues whatsoever. With anything such as this you have to be mindful of the wattage demands of your project. In total I am drawing no more than 30W max so this satisfied my needs an more. It is powering a 60 in 1 JAMMA and 8 leds.

WORKS UNTIL NOW 10DEC25

I really screwed myself on buying this product. Im sure it is a perfectly working product, but I needed the version for a normal ATX board, which I believe is 24 pins? Either way, this product left 4 of my mother board power supply pins unoccupied. I need to go through the trouble of buying a new one now. I wish that the description of the product stated more clearly that this is not for normal mother boards, or that it is for older motherboards or something. I cant even find a board that has the 20 pin connector. Anyways... I cant say anything bad or good about the product it self because I never got to even try it.

Awesome little PSU. I adapted mine for use inside my Dreamcast as it provides all the necessary voltage rails and is much more efficient and produces less heat than the stock PSU. I removed the edge connector on mine and modified it as such to power the Dreamcast, and it works great, with no noise in the video output at all.

Dump your old PSUs, get this! Would be awesome if there was a case with a hole for the 12VDC connector to go with it, for those of us who use this to replace ancient unreliable flooded with resin original PSUs. (I.e. don't stick it in an existing case)

I gave myself a bit of project for the new year, in revamping my old Dreamcast with a new PSU, fan and GD-Emu drive. This PSU was just the ticket and I felt much more confident buying this than one of the cheaper knock-off picoPSU clones. I used this in combination with a PicoPSU adapter that I picked up on eBay and it made installing this into the Dreamcast a doddle. You will need a good 12V PSU to accompany this, but it's so much smaller and runs cooler than the big Dreamcast PSU board that it replaced. Highly recommended!

Bear in mind the pico 80 is the older bare 20-pin ATX connector without the extra 12v connector (not the full 24 + 4 ATX 2.x as seen in the 160 XT) so it would not be enough to troubleshoot most current motherboards. The barrel jack is also not the standard 9x5.5mm with a 2mm pin, but instead it has somewhat less common 2.6mm pin, Most people would require an adapter or a modified PSU to make it work. It does work though, and is enough to power older systems, and standalone SATA/MOLEX powered devices.
