What only from very recently coincides is the story of Joachim, but this is not know to you. Actually to me myself it is a bit of "interpretation at the distance" of what happened over in Finland, but of what he told me (which is not necessarily the 100% truth, haha) he was able to have a sort of melt down of his PC, fed by the same 100W HDPlex (but with different ATX module). What I get of it, is that the unit got warmer and warmer, until something went "over" and the PC suffered (it did not break).
Hi Peter,
The stuttering of the music happens with the OS was not in MinOS. (In MinOS no stuttering of the music) So, when changing the status of the OS's the system was not stable. (LPS power too low)
Sent you this pm in May.

He, he Peter,
Ok, a confusion created from my side.
Will clarify my situation with the PicoPSU 160Watts + HDPlex 100Watt LPS.
A) The 12V LPS power is connected to socket 1 + 8 (see PDF attached)
B) No 4Pin power connection for the PCIe cards
C) In the Bios the LAN controller is disabled, same with USB3
D) Power consumption during normal operation ~ 88 – 90Watts.
E) Power consumption after enabling the LAN controller (necessary for RDC) increases of ~2 Watts
F) Power consumption increases up to 98 Watts after disabling XXH MinOS, so OS is back with all processes and music begins to stutter (with 8x ArcPrediction).
The HDPlex 100Watt LPS limit is reached.
G) The temperature of the HdPlex 100Watt LPS was constant with appr. 48 – 50°C.
H) Side note: Using the HDPlex with the laptop the housing was “handwarm” only.
I) The temp of the CPU cooler (below the running fan) was ~ 38°C
J) The temp of the cooler rips of the graphic card has been ~40°C
K) Changing back to the BeQiet PSU the power consumption drops to ~51 Watts. I think, an 8Pin connection to the power socket 1 on the mobo is necessary using a LPS.
L) The ASUS graphic card “eats” ~ 23 Watts and after dismounting we are at your ~ 30 Watts for the whole PC operating with an RDC configuration.
I’m “snoopy” about your LPS design + price.
What worries me, was the change of the soundstage, just like a Mono replay with my “LPS configuration” .
