Mini ITX question

Kurgen · 18 Jul 2016 at 13:42

I have a faulty BARCO Clickshare AV unit. I opened it up and its got an ITX motherboard in it, with 2gb USB size SATA Drive, 2GB RAM and a 65w PSU. I was wondering as a mess about project if I could put an AM1 motherboard in it. the problem is, the current Fujitsu motherboard only has the CPU 4pin power socket, there is no 20 or 20+4. Is there a way to split the 4pin cpu in 24 pin.

I dont know about that one but you could bang one of these in and it would be more suitable I guess...

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Impactics 130W AC-DC Power Supply Adapter= £59.99

Total: £68.69
(includes shipping: £8.70)

That could be an issue

Some of the more electrically minded guys could probably make something clever but it seems like a lot of effort for a 65w psu.

I could probably crow bar some Linux distro on it, but it would struggle with web browsing. and woulndt realy be of much use.

Asrock Am1 board might be your answer this one asrock am1h-itx check the power connector uses a power brick

looks interesting, I will have to scout for one on the bay, I think they are quite rare tho. bonus they work with a £10 laptop psu
