Re: Regulated 10V power supply

Power requirements with modern PCs are not clear cut because CPU consumption is hectic (can be 3W to nearly 30W, rated for 17W). On the other hand IPC2 is tolerant with respect to input voltage. I expect 30W to be fine in an audiophile PC scenario. If you connect say 5W USB load then you are closer...

Re: Regulated 10V power supply

IPC2 can work perfectly fine from 10V. Make sure your supply can provide 3A without voltage drop. Unfortunately it would not help with temperature. Hi, thank you, this is very helpful. Does the 3A requirement take into account power draw from USB devices. All of my USB devices currently have their ...

Regulated 10V power supply

I am thinking using a LT1083 7.5A linear regulator to either regulate the stock 12v switching supply down to 10v, or just build a 10v linear power supply. Would either the (i) lowered voltage (10v) or (ii) linear regulation cause any performance decreases to an IPC2 with i7? I use the IPC2 for music...
