It has worked on every other hundred or so PCs I've built.I also have a problem with my original Logitech G15. Sometimes it wont work in the BIOS. But if I attach a keyboard/mouse wireless receiver, even over the built in hub of the G15, I can use the G15 without any issues.

At these low energy draws a normal PSU is wasting tons of energy and produces noises etc. If it had the 12V 4 Pin connector, I wouldn't even have used the 90W Version. I don't think I could get more than 20W power usage out of my system. But just to be safe, I use a 60W power supply and 90W PicoPSU.(2014-03-24, 14:26)Dougie Fresh Wrote: I am using a 120W DC 20-pin powerboard (wiring harness is 20-to-24pin) and 60W AC adapter with the Gigabyte J1800 board.

Ah don't worry about it I appreciate it. That spare PSU I had was pretty old so I'd rather get a new one for this build.
Looking at PSU for this build last night I noticed there weren't many lower than 300watt for standard size. It would be nice it if there was some between 200-300. It's either the Pico PSU or a 300+ watt. I guess there isn't a market for it?! I seen some at the lower watt but the size looked longer and I don't think they would work.
