This Tiny Power Supply Lets You Use a Power Hungry Video Card in Almost Any Desktop Computer

This is seriously cool!

Heat plus plastic gloves? IDK man

They should start making these again.

About the potential bottlenecking issue, at 4K as you show in the video there would be no bottlenecking at all as running any game at 4K slams the GPU and eases off the CPU so bottlenecking shouldn't be an issue here unless you switch to lower resolutions and even if you did there still might not be any.

I just use a sfx psu and a add2psu switch works great with my rx5700xt in my z600.

Why wear gloves when soldering?

Now I want to see an entire computer being powered by the secondary PSU....if possible.

You can't mix psu's on a gpu, you can't power a gpu with a different psu than what powers the motherboard if the gpu is plugged in the pcie port. The only way to use multiple psus is if you are using risers and risers are not for gaming.

Did it work before you made the 2x6pin to 1x8pin adaptor? Using just a 6 to 8pin adaptor on just one of the leads? (I'm guessing the two six pin leads coming from the secondary PSUs are wired together internally and the wire gauge looks beefy enough to handle the current).

Do you have plans to finish the netbook shootout from earlier this year or do a video about the Aspire One?

I remember contemplated buying this when my psu couldn’t run my dual x1900xt back in 2006. Oh time has changed!

That’s so strange to hear my country’s name popping up in my subscribed videos. Last time it was review of the profressional routers that one of the most known companies in our country are manufacturing.

Its hard to find cos it was made in 2008.

It might be time to save up for a upgrade, that's so much of a fire hazard

Take a full modular psu and use it all these are mess

Moral: Dont buy a unit with a proprietary PS!

The Far Cry 5 test proves that the Z600 is GPU bound. I had one and still do, but it is for my Dad's use at his place. He has an AMD 280x to use with it for photo and video editing mainly. When I used the Z600, I had a 380x in it and my FPS sucked (tested also with the 280x and FPS was about the same). My 4790K system I gave to my brother (he put in an AMD 370 in it, I had a 1060), I come to find out was a little bit CPU limited (that can be overcome with a top tier GPU as the bottlenecking was minor). It was only when built my Ryzen 5 2600 system with a Vega 56 that I found no bottlenecking on FC5. I play 1080p instead of 4K because I care about visual quality over FPS (some people do 4k at high or medium instead of 1080 ultra because they want the resolution + FPS, I care more about FPS and quality not resolution).

Can you take a look on this psu "Dell H875EF-00" and tell me if it's gonna work fine with rx 470 and i5 3570
Thanks

If room allows in the pc case, I'd recommend a second ATX power supply instead, for GPU. It's cheaper and a lot easier to install, with ATX relay (which costs around $5), which allows one to link 2 PSU together.

If you can not donate me some parts to build a medium computer for games I pay shipping?

Here in Brazil I can not even have a 775 ddr2 card to use I am thinking of buying a 1366 card and a xeon 5670 16gb and use my gtx 660 video card I know that comes bottleneck but will be temporary for now.

As an ex Z600 owner, I can tell you that you could saved yourself both money and time. I did a modification to original Z600 PSU- soldered additional cables. Been running GTX690 for a year without a problem.

Smack it with a golf club.

Always fun to see the people that are not used to wiring up things get scared and complain lol. Great job man.

I didn’t even know power supplies like this existed. Great video! You keep getting better & better with your videos. Kudos.

It looks like Frankenstein, but it works. IT'S ALIVE!

It’s a graphics card. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I've been using one of these with my gaming rig for the last 2.5 to three years, bought it back in the day so owned from new and works without any problems. Granted it's only running a GTx 760 but never had any issues.

still have mine

I didn't even know that these existed.

Might as well salvage a 400W power supply from a broken Fat Playstation 3. They are rated for 36A on the 12V rail. Just solder in a 6 or 8 pin GPU power cable. Or just twist the wires and stuff in the 12V 'holes' if you're dangerous. There will be no standby 'power on' signal. Force on with two opposite white wires tied together. Or actually you could build a 'power on' circuit with a hex inverter (PC powers on with LOW ground, PS3 powers on HIGH 5V). Sleep mode is lame AF anyway.

easy to work on, but not because of the PSU, just like the old dimension systems, theyre pretty much all toolless, but then the shroud.

We need this to be made today, with 80 plus standard rating

Needs more lighting on the room 😬

You might have solved my PSU issue with my GTX 1080 FE card, if i manage to dig up one of those FSP X5.

Great video. You could go with a external power supply too. I like my old laptops with the slot to add a video card. Fun, but no longer portable.
