TheGuruStud Assuming some decent 19V boards become available, I use old 95W laptop adapters. They're still small and the case is tiny, b/c even slim PSUs are bulky for a NUC sized case. Internal is pointless, b/c you've just ballooned the case defeating the whole point of tiny. I bet I can even cram a thin laptop adapter in a tiny case. That won't happen at a 2" thick size.

Brusfantomet I see, my goal was a completely passive case solution, for that a external brick is actually a positive aspect, as the heat from the AC/DC conversion is removed from the case completely, and a god DC/DC has low loss, and therefore low heat output.



The point is anyway the “available in Norway” part, its not that bad to import stud yourself, remember that the MVA tax point was raised to 350 nok.



However, that 75W should be enough for the 2400GE, as long as you refrain from running furmark for extended periods.

Have an old A8-7600 (a 65W cpu) running on a 90 W pico PSU, been stable for over 2 years.

That 75W supply will handle short bursts of 100W, just not prolonged use at that wattage.

I'm not aiming for NUC-like size, but rather an "optimal" balance of size, performance, cooling and noise level. Current plan is to scratch-build a case that fits an ITX board and a small AC-DC psu like the EPP-100-12 linked above (they're really tiny), squeeze in as large a down-draft heat sink as I can fit (I'm actually looking at adapting an old Arctic Accelero S1 that I have lying around - the cold plate is tiny, but itwork), and cooling the entire setup with a single 140mm or 180mm fan mounted to the "top" panel above the motherboard (with exhaust holes beneath and around the board). This should provide sufficient cooling for everything, at least in theory, while keeping noise minimal. I can't stand high-pitched noise, so large fans are the way to go.Also, in my eyes, an internal PSU is a massive improvement. Power bricks are messy (well, nigh impossible to cable manage/route) and prone to failure. They generally aren't designed for sustained high loads either. Oh, and finding anything above 90W is difficult and/or expensive. As such, an industrial/embedded AC-DC PSU (designed for continuous load) ought to be a significant improvement, and the Mean Well EPP series is small enough to be negligible next to an ITX motherboard.I'm considering importing an EPP-200-12, but that'll easily land me above 1000NOK with shipping, VAT, processing fees and all the rest. Not all that enticing.As for the EPP-100-12, it's actually rated for 100W continuous output at 50C ambient temps with 20cfm airflow across it (the 75W rating is passive/zero airflow) so with some cooling it is theoretically sufficient for a 2200G or even a 2400G with some undervolting. It's still a bit too close for comfort though, and I'd really like the option to OC the iGPU some, which blows me past 100W easily, which is what's making me hold off. That I'm not likely to have a huge budget for this build when it comes time to build it is another factor, of course. Definitely not making this easy for myself :P Then again, this build isn't really likely to happen this year. And next year there'll be even better APUs :)
