flyride Posted July 14, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2020 Just do the math based on the high wattage rating of all the parts. This website will calculate it for you: https://pcpartpicker.com/ Based on what you posted, you should be fine IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanner Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted July 14, 2020 Nice site thanks, I have put almost everything totalling 45W however I can not find the mobo. According to your calculation should I be in comfortably or tight ? Thanks and Regards S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted July 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2020 Any of the Jxxxx-ITX motherboards will do in regard to your calculation. The J4105 chip is 10W and I doubt the rest of the mobo uses more than a few watts with no real PCIe expansion. I think you have plenty of power margin.
