Best ATX PSU for Amiga?
I'm guessing you don't need a large ATX PSU to power expanded Amiga.
A small one with possible passive cooling would probably do. Any ideas? |

Yes, you can ask some moderator to close the thread. This is the best one:
http://www.o2xygen.com/photo/VLT6010...1001LF_001.pdf and delivers 8A in the 5v line (more than Mechy's latest PSU). It can run a system with a BPPC/BVision/Idefix/Delfina/Clockport expander/Dvd drive/Subway and 5 fans... |

Thanks. It looks good but how would you use that with an A1200? You'll have to excuse me I've got a screaming baby so head not working too well

I used an ATX adaptor by Ian Stedman: http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Sales/sales.html
And you can use your existing Power Supply cable (well, and the Amiga PSU case). Last edited by Retrofan; 28 January 2017 at 00:40. |

You could also use a PicoPSU with the same ATX adaptor. I've been using a PicoPSU on one of my A1200s for years. 90W handles reasonable expansion. It needs an additional power brick however: http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-90

I did my research and found an ATX psu that was the most stable for Amiga.
It is a 520W Fanless Seasonic Platinum PSU. It delivers 20a on 5v line and it's the most stable among tens of other psu reviews I read. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/...S-520FL/2.html Thew only downside is that it is fanless but it does not cause any problems with my A4000T probably because the A4000T does not stress it much, and since the case is opened... but I remember using it with the case closed for some time as well.
