puntoMX Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Your welcome,The link I gave you shows an external power supply and a voltage regulator for the motherboard, smaller then that you can’t get it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 By the way, that picture of the alledged power supply is not the whole thing. From http://www.silentpcreview.com/article601-page1.html you can see that it's actually composed of a laptop-style switchmode PSU and a small adapter with some voltage regulators on it.Even so, those voltage regulators on the ATX connector do not look like they can handle anywhere near 60 watts. I'd consider 10 watts to be optimistic, and 5 watts seems to be more realistic judging by the size of the components.My advice would be to keep as much airflow as you can around it.

LLXX Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/117/int...gulator2en9.jpgMine are similar, though the heatsinks are smaller than that.Even if they didn't have a heatsink, the heat gets conducted away by the large amounts of solder and metal on the mobo itself, and don't forget the CPU fan airflow blows past that area with the voltage regulators as well.In contrast, the ATX connector is usually in a very cramped portion of the mobo and doesn't recieve much ventilation.
