Would a 150w pico PSU power this?

Would a 150w/200w Pico PSU be able to safely power the below?

Zotac 9300 ITX

E5200 @ 3.4Ghz .12 voltage increase

3.5 500Gb Harddisk

Zotac GT 240?

Thanks All

i would guess no...

think those gt 240's recommend a min 300w psu

the rig in my sig uses 120W at max load so id say it should work

The pico psu you're considering (150W) offers 6A on the 3.3 and 5V rails and 8A on the 12V rail. This is conditional on the surface of the psu remaining below 65 degrees and you not drawing this all the time, take a third off the ratings for 24/7 use.

This probably means no, but you'll be fine if you don't use the graphics card. Perhaps someone will have tried it and found otherwise though. I'm interested in the 200W pico psu, I didn't think these existed. Do you have a link to the specifications of one?

Why do you want the 240 may i ask?

GT240 runs off the PCI-e bus which is 75w i think.

JonJ678 · 5 Jan 2010 at 23:21

pci-e bus is indeed rated for 75W, but this doesn't mean a 240 draws 75W or even that the pico psu can drive a pci-e slot at 75W...

I wouldnt.
