walkerx Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Can anyone advise on what the power outage (wattage) would be for this Input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz 1.6a Output: 12V 5.0A regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 power in watts = I (current in amps) X V (volts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerx Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 thanks so that would be 60W and not 120W as advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Many sellers of electrical goods use false/misleading units to describe power output especially amplifier and loudspeaker retailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerx Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 its psu for mini-itx case - on packaging it states 120W - hopefully 60W should be ok, but the board inside case says 120W but PSU itself shows the figures I mentioned in first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Try emailing the retailer for clarification, sounds like a typo.Or the board could be for a up to 120 watt model but fitted with a 60 watt transformer for this application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allysum Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Which micro-itx board are you going to power from this? I doubt 60W is going to be enough and most MITX supplies start at 120W minimum unless you've got one of the new Intel Atom-based boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Does it only have 5V output? I suspect that it outputs other voltages along side and you need to add them up. It would be a pretty poor power supply that took in 1.6A AC and only managed to put out 60W DC. Edit: Sorry, meant only 12V.

heavenlyarts Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I believe Normal computer motherboard supplies output :- +5v -5v +12v Your info is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allysum Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Does it only have 5V output? It's a 12V, 5A output. I believe Normal computer motherboard supplies output :- +5v -5v +12v Your info is incomplete. Normal ATX supplies do output these voltages but sometimes mini-itx supplies work like a laptop power supply with an adapter called a DC-DC PicoPSU or just take a direct single DC voltage straight to the board using a laptop-style PSU. This is common on Atom N2800 and similar boards. 80W and 90W are more common for these new single-board computers as they can support standard drives and accessories but 60W can be used for low power systems.
