Faster dedicated graphics cards require much more power. The motherboard can provide a maximum of 75W through its PCI-E interface slot. It is also possible that your 8-pin cable can be split into two segments to provide backwards compatibility with cheaper motherboards. Obviously you only need to use one of these cables. Most PSU’s provide two cables one with 4-pins and one with 8-pins. For regular usage there is absolutely no need for the additional pins. The extra 4 pins ensure that enough power can be provided to the cpu when overclocking. More expensive “overclocking” motherboards have 8-pin connectors. Nowadays it is the P4, or EPS connector, to provide the cpu with power.Ĭheap motherboards are equipped with a 4-pins connector. With overclocked cpu’s drawing as much as 200W a need to provide power directly to the CPU was created. P4 (EPS Connector)Īt some point in time the motherboard’s pins were no longer sufficient to provide the processor (cpu) with power. Please contact us if you are unsure what combination to purchase.ĭon't see what you want here? Send us an email with as much information as possible, and we'll try and get it for you.A 24-pins cable is backwards compatible with a 20-pins motherboard, often this cable can be split into 20- and 4-pins (like in the image above). Offer applies when being used to power appropriate rated components only with our AC Adapters. Notes: Not suitable for use with batteries, unstable power sources or voltages other than 12V.ĬE / FCC / VCCI Certifications: EN55024, EN55022 Class B (CE certification), Australia/New Zealand (using CISPR 22, EN55022), Japan (VCCI: using CISPR 22, ANSI C63.4), United States (FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class B), Canada (ICES-003 using CISPR 22, ANSI C63.4).ĥ Year Warranty: We are so confident in the build quality of our genuine picoPSUs that from June 1st 2016 we now offer a 5 year warranty when the picoPSU-120 is purchased together with one of our AC Adapters (currently 60W - 192W). Long Life: The picoPSU-120 with Mini-Fit JR is marked for long life production and is guaranteed to have a life cycle of 5 years or more. Please read their product listings to determine which is most suitable for you. P4 Power Connectors: If your board has a 4-pin 12V P4 power connector, you will need to use a Molex to 12V P4 Power Cable, or a picoPSU-90 or 150/160-XT.ġ2V AC Adapter Required: You will need a 12V AC Adapter to use this picoPSU. To power more SATA drives use a Molex to SATA or 2x SATA cable. *The 2.5/5.5mm Jack can be replaced with the more robust 4-pin Mini-DIN connector that is supplied with our 150W and 192W AC Adapters.Īdding more SATA drives: The picoPSU-120 has one SATA connector and a Molex connector. If you are considering using with a board not on our site, please email us to check compatibility.ġ2V AC Adapter Required: You will need a 12V AC Adapter to use this picoPSU. More powerful picoPSUs offer more headroom for additional devices. Additionally most lower power consumption Mini-ITX boards with Intel and AMD processors up to around 65W TDP can be powered. An attached cable harness provides:Ĭompatibility: The picoPSU-120 can power all our Mini-ITX boards with Geode, C3, C7, Atom and Fusion processors.
The picoPSU-120 generates up to 120 Watts of power from a 12V DC supply, at over 96% efficiency. The picoPSU-120 plugs directly into a motherboard ATX connector and measures just 31x45x20mm - about the size of two AA batteries. You may also require: Short Molex to P4 Power Cable
PicoPSU-120 12V DC-DC ATX Power Supply (120 Watts)ĥ Year Warranty when ordered and used with one of our AC Adapters*
Short (48mm) Molex HDD to 4-pin 12V P4 Power Connector Cable.Ĭompatibility: Suitable for Mini-ITX motherboards that require a P4 power connection, combined with a PSU without a P4 connector but with a spare HDD connector.
