Re: Server PSU-powered GPU rig packages! Pico's, Risers, adapter cables, etc.
This is a very nice addition to the products you already offer. Any plan to also go into the PDU direction? This would make your shop a one stop for all power needs. I may also be interested about the DPS-2500BB PSU any opinion on these? I like that trey are more efficient and also provide slightly more power.
Btw the project we discuss about is now only a few week ahead.

Myffas,
I have not used the DPS-2500BB PSU's, but the 4K boards are more than capable of handling the extra wattage. The higher efficiency is also a good selling point.
I do have PDU's, if you look in either my IBM 2880W or DPS-4kW PSU threads you will see that I carry both 30A (24 continuous) and 50A (40A continuous) PDU's. I also have some packages including PDU's for multiple PSU setups. PM me when you're ready to talk about that project, I'll give you my number and on peut parler.
@Finsky - Sent a PM please take a look at
Replying to everyone as quickly as I can, thank you for your patience!
I need a few Pico PSU. My motherboard require an 8 Pinn connectors. Not sure if it comes with the 8 Pins by default.
The H81 Pro BTC is 8 PIN and i didn't receive my Biostar TB85 but it looks like an 4 Pins.
EDIT: Do we absolutely need an external power supply for the Pico ? I'm sure I understand the PCIe to EPS adapter assembly with barrel jack pig-tailed for powering Pico PSU correctly
Thanks

Herb,
I've now posted pictures to better understand the setup. The Pico PSU's come with a 4-pin ATX connector on them, but I'm of the opinion that there's no point in drawing extra 12V wattage through the Pico PSU when we have a more reliable source as it is -6-pin PCIe cables from breakout board- and it doesn't require any more slots. So that's why I include a 6-pin PCIe to 8-pin EPS patch cable together to power the motherboard directly. For the Biostar's you can just use the 4-pin ATX connector on the Pico and use the extra PCIe connector for something else low-wattage like a riser, there's no harm in doing so. Here is how the Pico PSU looks connected to a motherboard (powered by 1 PCIe connector from motherboard):
