I think am gonna go for the same one as you. How long are the cables? Or should i go for the 150w one RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - bensl - 2012-05-12 do you think using the 300-150 case would solve these problems? RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - OopsAllBerrys - 2012-05-12 Above: The back, I had to push out that metal when I had the tiny 250w PSU inside the case (from my Apex case): Inside, the white connector is part of the picoPSU, it's where the 4 pin adapter connects: picoPSU, its hard to see it down there plugged in the slot. The cables come VERY close to the 2nd exhaust fan I have in there. I'm sure I don't need the fan but the Enermax fans don't make any noticable noise. Nothing too special about the power brick, its big, has a green light on it.

You can get away with a 150w on a A6 3500 fine. The 192w a/c adapter is still only giving the computer 160w max since thats what the 160XT picoPSU is rated at. RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Beer40oz - 2012-05-12 Poor cable... hope you get that fixed. Cool pics.... nice job! But yes from what people been telling me you can get away with the 90W Pico I am about to buy.... on a A6-3500 ...... and maybe even a 65W A8... and my 90W Pico has all the connections I need + the P4 and I will be able to use the stock hole. " You can get away with a 150w on a A6 3500 fine." that is way more power then needed.... RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

I don't think there is a 65w A8. I'd rather go a lil overkill knowing it will work instead of hoping. My electric bill isn't going to be noticeably higher cause I went with a 160XT picoPSU RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - MrKay - 2012-05-12 Thanks for the pics i have the A8 3820 that's a 65watts 4 core's. I just don't no what to do. If i go for this it's gonna cost me around £85 to £100 more then the case it self. The case was £70 Do you guys think i can get away with 150w for my A8 3820 RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

Since it have more powerful CPU and iGPU, it'll always peak higher than A6-3500..... AMD A-Series Processor Model Number and Feature Comparisons RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

"A6-PACK" - MrKay - 2012-05-12 I might go for PicoPSU-160-XT & ACDC-12V/150W that way i dont need to cut anything and plus i can upgrade down the road to a 160 brick. Plus do you guys think these will handle trinity apu cause i might upgrade to the a10 5700 when it comes out RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Beer40oz - 2012-05-12 Dude let me see the 150.... I don't think you are going to over clock... + if you do... then the 150 is way more the you need..... ask Dugie he knows his stuff. RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet!

RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! "A6-PACK" - Beer40oz - 2012-05-12 I own that Blu.... Why are you pushing the 160xt?
