Power questions

Last response: in Systems

Two power questions. I already own the 1100t, so want to keep that. I also want to stay to the mini itx form with slim drive. Problem is not sure if 250W psu can power this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NYGP9U/ref=ox_sc_a...). Second problem, from what I read there can be some problems running a 1100t on a board that sets the thermal point at 95W.

After checking sites for total watts I was still under 210.

This is one of the better PSU calculators: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Considering your CPU uses 125-135W + ~75W for the GPU + extra for the rest, a 250W is not enough. You'll be running very close to the ceiling, and the 250W PSUs aren't usually made well.

I would expect this. The 1100t is one of the more powerful CPUs that draws about 125-135W. If your board only sends 95W to the CPU, you're going to experience major issues.
