HDPlex 300W PSU: Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2017
- The HDPlex 300 DC-ATX PSU is one of, if not the best option for small form factor power supplies. It is the upgraded version of the older HDPlex 250. I took a look at how it works.

I love that you show love for the S4 mini. Its hands down the best SFF chassis so far. Josh knows how to design and build. Well done Jay, keep up the good work!
Another great thing about these PSUs is that you can couple them with internal AC adapters also sold by HDPlex and eliminate the need for an external brick. They're going to release a 300W adapter to go with the unit in your review some time in Q1 2017
you are awesome. I have been on the hunt for tiny power supply information and your channel was my one stop shop with all your pico psu and HDplex videos. you got a +1 sub for your quality content.
keep up the awesome work.
Hey thanks! Glad I could help.
Same here. Can't find a narrow sfx psu anywhere these days so It looks like these are the solution.
Great video! I need to watch more of your small form factor videos
Just found your channel. Excellent content. Another sub for you sir! - Going down your playlists of pico & small psu options for custom builds
Wow, I'm glad I found this video. I could use this to replace the cheap 125W fanless PSU in my Silverstone.
Wow, a whole new world opening up here - love it, thanks!
Welcome!
Excellent review, finally finished my Mini IXT build and have this installed in my system and it works very well with my i7 6700K and GTX 970.
Nice man, glad you got it all set up. What case did you go with again?
Tek Everything Ended up with a very nice aluminum cube case from Aliexpress. Much better than expected, perfect size being 216 x 216 mm.
Really? Your holding out on me man. You have a secret small form factor case ha.
CDLLBOSS LEE+ I think I built my first PC in high school.
Nice, the younger the better. Keep going!
Great videos man, just found your channel and I find it very cool and informative. Subbed.
Awesome, Thanks!
Thanks Jay!
Sold out everywhere!!!
Great explanation! Thank you!
Great build man.
DUDEEE!! yeees! this is awesome! i was looking for something like this! But i didn't find it myself! :D now i can build my SFF PC even smaller!
Nice, what case are you planning on using?
LOL...would you believe i can't find, or remember, the name of the one i found before giving up BECAUSE i couldn't find a good enough PSU :)))))
The hardware i'm planning to use is:
- Intel Kaby Lake, Core i5 7600K 3.8GHz
- GeForce GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 256-bit
- 16GB RAM
- an ASUS MB
- NOCTUA low profile cooler
- HDD/SSD
any ideas for a good case that might also fit a full GPU, not a mini one? :D
before this, i was going to go with this: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01580NNN2/ref=pe_2223501_174178581_em_1p_2_ti
but, i want to make it smaller, and plus, i think it would make it a lot more interesting and fun to build! it would make it more difficult! :D
Dan Case A4, or Dr. Zaber Sentry
super! thanks a lot for the advice man!
keep making them gr8 videos! :D
This was fantastic thank you for the help
Subbed, keep up the good work man..
You never know what you find on these RUclips channels, glad I came across this as I am looking for an alternative to the usual ITX/ATX PSU and want something smaller. As this will require an external power brick, which one would you recommend?
So can I just get rid of my 240 watts rectangular PSU and replace it with this in my dell Optiplex 7040?
Because I wanna buy the Rx 470 but I don't think the 240w is enough
G-Unique Plug-N-Play is another option over the HDPlex 300 as the modded 330w Dell power brick is included with the G-Unique for $110-120 or so.
Albert Chang do they also have something with 400w-500w range
Your channel is awesome my friend. Keep this up :)
Thanks man
I have a prebuilt SFF dell machine, namely the 390, that I'm thinking about getting this small PSU for. Would I be able to mound the DC input the same way as usual?
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm planning on building a compact gaming PC. When you say DC input volume, how different is that from your standard ATX psu?
how is the efficiency level of these DC to atx psus? Also The power bricks normally has efficiency level V or Vi im not really sure what does that mean! 80+ bronze, gold??
Thank you for the info. Now im anxious to put together my sff build with my silverstone case. cant wait.
Which case?
i believe its the silverstone sst--sg05. i've built it before with an aio liquid cooling, and all amd system, but even with how small the silverstone psu's are, it still takes up space.
Nice, enjoy it. Are you going to do any custom cooling with that extra space?
Thank you. I doubt i'll do any custom cooling. Only because it'll just be a portable gaming pc. i got a pretty decent aio cooler from enermax that does a good job cooling.
You could go even smaller with a Node 202 and AIO. You would have a bunch of extra space if you used the HDPlex in there.
this is mind blowing OwO, awesome video
yea those cables do need to be custom sleeved as they are SUPER long for a Mini-ITX case... so glad I'm sending my HDPLEX300 over to Josh to get it's cables sleeved. I should be getting it all back along with my S4 Mini once he's done with the work on the HDPLEX, S4-mini, and the 1080mini tests. Here's hoping the ASUS z270i STRIX and 960EVO-250GB are out before then so I can finally start my build!
Maybe I should send mine over too. Any official word on the Asus Z270i release date?
Tek Everything Yeah I'm sure Josh's cabling would look amazing all sleeved and cut to length in an S4 mini. Also, no release date yet but I suspect we're close. Late Jan to early Feb was the reply from ASUSROGUK's twitter a few weeks back. So if they were right I'd expect it to release within the next 15 days. I've been checking amazon/newegg almost every hour I'm awake for that z270i. I'll be sure to post about it on the SFF forums right after its out and I snag mine. 👍
I recently purchased this and the 24pin cable is too long. I can't close my s4 mini case properly. Where can I get custom cables made for this or a tutorial on making my own?
what case is that? I have a case exactly that size almost
hi, I have a pico 300w, what powerbrick could you suggest for this? Thank you, great video :)
Could I skip the ac-dc adapter and just power it straight off of a couple 12v batteries with a voltage regulator?
Hello! I found This Guy Very useful. I Wonder How many Ampers Go to 12v in?
Looks promising for running an in car server, as an altetnative using inverter from car power to ac only to be converted back to dc using standard psu.
Good content
cool psu!
I'm considering using this in a build with an lcd controller board plugged to a laptop screen. Do you know if it's possible to make the monitor it draw power from the hdplex with a molex ?
I honestly have no idea. I would reach out to HDPlex to ask. Or post that question on the small form factor forum.
Can i use It without another pico psu, only with an psu like Raspberry pi's
Hey, I came here with (I hope) a simple question; what if I were to pull an alienware move on it? I mean; what if I were to plug in two same power supplies at the same time into it? Would it double the wattage or... Just not work? Cuz it seems like it should.
What do you think about this with q8200 7gb ram and gt710 ? 775 setup
Will it be powerful enough to run a gtx 1050Ti? And, is it reliable and for long term use or is it just a temporary solution?
Do you have a power brick option for the new 400w option?
i like alot the idea of these PSU, but the price is a bit high 150-200$ is not cheap, in my DIY cylinder case, i think i'll go for an SFX PSU, although in the future i hope to buy one of these ... micro PSU !
ty for video :)
its 60$ for the psu + 50-60$ power adapter
from his link's
HDPlex300 = 85$
dell 330w power adapter is 119$
that's how appear on my screen when i click on the link's he provide :)
I currently have this in my system, yes it is a bit pricey but its well worth it if you are using a mini ixt case. The PSU itself is $85 and you can find the Dell 330w power adapter for $50 on ebay used but works wonderfully.
That's what steered me away from the NFC case. I'll consider HDPlex in a 2nd build I wouldn't be overclocking.
laptop charger adaptor its 19 volt DC, and the modul is 12 volt dc, that not make the modul overheat?
Bro I think sound foam would be a great investment, help get rid of the echo 👍🏾
This room is far too big to really do much of anything with the sound. I won't be upgrading any of my components until I hit 10K subs prob. I may start doing more voice over stuff which may help in the meantime.
Tek Everything ahh ok, it wasn't even annoying but I was just suggesting
Mineral wool is better at reducing sound noise and is cheaper than auralex foam. Egg crates do nothing. A lavalier microphone is cheaper. TBH I'm not too bothered, it's like he's chatting with us.
well honestly the room being big doesn't matter that much
although you would have to buy more of that foam stuffs
but it really helps
definitely check at a music school when you do it. my friend told me never to pay for studio foam because schools throw it out frequently.
The hdplex have upgraded to 400W, getting expensive, and big. Honestly im temped to look at sfx supplies again, since i guess that is their target now
One day I may try these stuff.
Why wait?
it's pretty crazy the efficiency these days, the cooler master power supply calculator says an i7-7700k and GTX 1080 both overclocked only draw
Yep, the days of needing a 500W+ PSU to run high end components are over... Thankfully.
Spoke too soon, 12th gen Intel can draw over 200+ watts stock.
How many 3.5" SATA hard drives can this unit power?
I own one. Is fantastik
Can you please side-by-side compare it to m4-atx?
I like your videos, I', also a big fan of small but powerful computers which look good. One thing that I'd like to say is, for someone who obviously takes pride in keeping things neat and tidy..... why the cable mess under your desk?? really need some cable management there especially if you're using that angle to record your videos, gives a direct view to under your desk haha. Anyway keep up the good videos.
I will fix them for you my friend
Would it be safe to use this power supply with an i5 4690k (non-overclocked), 8gb of ram, a gtx 1060, 1 ssd, and a 1TB hdd? I currently have a gtx 970 and a 500 watt psu but there is not a lot of room in my case for air flow so I want to get this PSU and hopefully that should fix matters. Many thanks in advance!! :)
Yes, absolutely.
Ok. So you use a laptop charger, DC, then plug in the coverter cable and it allows AC? So basically you can use any laptop charger to power the 300w PSU? I'm not sure if im understanding this right?
You can use pretty much any 19V charger yes. It has to be able to output enough juice for your components though.
Are you planning a review of the new 400 watt version?
Certainly, when it comes out.
Can you make a review of the new HDPLEX 400W? thank you for your videos
I don't think I will be doing a video on the 400W... but maybe. All reports are that it is excellent though.
Hi. You said that it's work from 16V.... I need do convert my home PC to RV power (12-14v) can you give me some advice?
I am not the man to ask that question sorry, I have no idea how you would go about doing that.
powers my 1070 and 6700k nice!
Nice, what brick are you using?
do you have to undervolt the card or anything? How is that possible?
Wtf it's more than 300w
@@Rainbow__cookie but the PSU can reach 350W !!!
Is the wattage continuous?
dope.
Does this psu have a max output? Is it dependant on the powerbrick? This is a great option if I can find a case that could fit it.
It has a 400W peak, and yes.
Hey great video thanks for sharing. I plan on pushing the boat a little would this thing power a xeon at 145 watt plus an aftermarket 1080ti at around 240 watt. In the description it says handles 400 watt peak would this be enough for that setup?
I would test the system power draw at load with a standard PSU first. The Dell 330W power brick you would need may be underpowered at load. I suspect you would see around 320W-350W at load, but obviously you would have to test it to see. There are also ways to modify that power brick to deliver 400 plus watts.
Thanks for the reply I think I will invest in a device to measure power draw off the wall and test the setup first to be safe, as for modifying a power brick not something I have considered as my knowledge of electronics is pretty bad, but as you mention it I will look into that, more than one way to skin a cat that's the motto of this business, thanks again mate for the feedback.

Nice
Im just wondering if they have black on all the cables why make the 24 pin rainbow but great vid
I was told that it was done to ensure the pin layout was right.
so that can actually run a 1070 and a cpu?? do you have to downclock at all? im making a custom pc case and have been really annoyed by the sizes of power supplies. If this can run a graphics card also then its perfect for what i need.
You shouldn't have to down clock at all depending on what CPU you use.
9/10 - 1 point for those cables under the desk = 8/10 Watch worthy.
Looking into upgrading my rig within the next 3 months, I really like the idea of having an extremely compact system capable of running everything I throw at it in 1080p with ease, my current setup is a i5 6600k running at 4.4Ghz and a stock speed Zotac GTX1060 with 16GB of 2133Mhz RAM, I'm looking at switching to a i7 preferably a 7700 (non-k) or a 6700 with a GTX1080 mini from Zotac (if it's small enough to fit) or a GTX 1070 mini, along with a 5TB Seagate 2.5inch HDD and my pre-existing Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD and my Samsung 750 EVO 2.5inch SATA SSD, my question is with the above mentioned highest spec configuration (if space allows) would I be able to power it all from the PSU in this video (under-clocking components if needed) or would a GTX1080/i7 7700 combo or i7 6700 combo require too much power? I'm looking at either the NFC S4 Mini or the Logic Supply MC600 as the case for it all and either an Asus Z170 Impact ITX motherboard or a Asus Z270i Gaming Motherboard for it all?
You can actually run a GTX 1080 with a 7700K off of an HDPlex 300 and Dell 330W power brick. So a 7700/6700 paired with a 1080 would be a really nice and stable system. You shouldn't have to underclock anything.
The MC600 is really really small. I have both cases, and I wouldn't recommend putting high end components inside of one unless you modify it. I also don't think there is a 1070 or 1080 that would fit in the MC600.
The S4 would be a great option. People are already trying to squeeze the Zotac 1080 mini inside of it. The 1070 will fit, while it seems the 1080 may require some modification. smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/nfc-systems-s4-mini.96/page-80
Thank you for such a swift reply, it is greatly appreciated, I shall check out the forum post you have linked and hopefully find out more information from there, As someone who has never built a Mini ITX System run off of a HDPlex PSU with a Power brick before do you have any tips or links to places where I can find information on that? I have built 3 Mini ITX Systems before plus my current system in a M-ATX and then ATX form factor but I feel like so long as I have enough USB Ports on the motherboard and a compact form factor with a really good GPU I will be sorted, just want to make sure I cover as much as possible before shelling out a lot of £££ on my new PC, Many thanks again :)
man I need in my life for my Silverstone sugo sg13 build I want to build
It's out of stock on Amazon, and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone know where to get one?
www.hdplex.com/hdplex-400w-hi-fi-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html
So essentially, these things act as half of the total output in comparison to standard PSUs? So, pairing the HDplex 300 with a 330 power brick would be akin to having a 660w SFX power supply?
No, with that setup you would have around 330W of power. You can run most single GPU configurations with 330W. You really need to plan your build before you buy one of these.
There are also ways to modify some of the bricks to output higher wattage.
Thanks for the info.
I was wondering where did you installed the power brick connector in the mc600?
There is a spot for it on center of the back panel. I didn't build a full system in there. I just used it to show fitment.
thank you very much
So if I have a computer that will need at most 400W should I get the HDPlex 300 or should I try something else? Also would I need a bigger power brick as well.
I don't actually know my full power draw but it is at least 265W and I plan on upgrading in the future.
What components/case are you using, and what are you planning to upgrade to?
Case is custom (need to create a CAD model of it) MiniITX MoBo, i7-6700, my 960, a few WD Blues (2 at least), 16g RAM. What I plan on upgrading to is some more recent Nvida GPU. I might get a 10xx or wait for something better to come out from Nvida in the future.
Thanks for your help

A 6700 and 960 will pull around 230-240W. You would have more than enough headroom to run that system with an HDPlex 300.
Tek Everything Thanks for your help.
Would I need a 300w brick for it or will any brick would do, aslong as it outputs 12v?
Any 19V brick with the proper barel connector will work
That would be nice, Ive got alot of 60 and 195v bricks from my old laptop.
So I'm pretty new to pc building, just built my first pc last month. Now I want to do a sff in the future and I'm very interested in this HDPlex, but I'm still confused about how this thing can handle a 7700K and 1070. Because added up a system with this combination mostly consumes more power than 300W. How does this work? (again I'm new to this)
Real world power draw is generally significantly lower than people think. How did you calculate the power draw?
I put some parts in a list on pcpartpicker haha. I mean I know this is not accurate, but the thing is, I just don't understand the difference between the estimated numbers on such websites and the actual power draw. I don't know how to judge what would be a realistic number. I asked some friends and they also told me that it would be fine, but I still don't understand why. Tried to google it and tried some other calculators but they all came to 325-330W in total. I'm a little bit lost here.
Those power estimators usually dramatically overestimate the wattage you will be pulling with actual system use.
For example I used the Cooler Master load calculator, and came up with 254W load, and 304W recommended.
In real world testing I have yet to be able to push my system past 193W at the wall.
They give you conservative estimates to help you make a decision. That's all.
Alright, I will take that in mind in the future. Thanks a lot dude! You really helped me out here!
Will this fit with a 1070 mini in the S4?
Yes, I have the Gigabyte 1070 mitx with this HDPlex. I suggest customizing your cables to minimize clutter.
are you gonna review the hdplex 400w?
I don't think so. It is functionally very similar, just beefed up a bit. If I do a build in the future that needs one maybe.
What about sata power?
Why I can't find one in eBay? Something wrong lately and they don't have it anymore ?
They appear to be out of stock at the moment. I would check the HDPlex website I linked in the description for availability updates.
Holy shit I love you I'm buying one I didn't even know these existed
I love you too
so basically I can use any laptop charger without any problems, right?
No, you need to use a 19V charger with the proper barrell connector. You will want to make sure the charger used is capable of comfortably powering your system.
Do you think that in could powr a GTX 1080 Ti with it ?
Yes depending on your CPU choice.
Tek Everything I was aiming at the 8700k but it may be to powerful, isn't it ?
Btw : Thx for your answer. It's always a pleasure to see youtuber who cares about their community and takes time to go down in the comment section !
You could also easily power it with a battery
I've been looking for someone to make custom cables, if anyone has any suggestions LMK.
Cable mod makes custom cables
They dont make them short enough for the s4, I did end up finding someone based out of South Africa, hes been a great help, and it helps that he himself was interested in picking up a mini of his own.
beyondcustoms.net/ got me a fair price :)
Nice thanks for the tip, I need some myself. I believe NFC Josh will do them for a fee as well. I also read on SFF.net that cable mod is adding the HDPlex to their configurator. We will see if that happens anytime soon.
Does this work with 1080 and i7 8700 non k
You would be pushing the limits with that config. I wouldn't recommend it.
Will the hdplex work with Asus Prime z370a motherboard ? I see that hdplex has voltage 16v-24vdc and this is my motherboard’s requirements: i63.tinypic.com/2zzssuv.jpg i cant understand it myself
Yes, it will work with pretty much any modern motherboard. Just make sure you get a power brick capable of handling whatever load you decided to push through the unit.
Also they are only selling the upgraded HDPlex 400W unit now.
You don't need any cooling for this thing? ^^ and 200 watts should be enough for a 2200g with 8gb ram and a SSD.
Jonas Ziegler yeah won’t it overheat it doesn’t have. Fan right????
can i use it with a gt 1030?
Sure
Could I use 2 on one pc?
Yes
hello I'm a new guy to hdplex. can this actually run gtx1070s?? how does that work??
Absolutely. You just need to pair it with the right power brick. What CPU were you planning on using?
I'm running an I5-6600 and an inno3D GTX 660 6gb.
But how could a 300W support both the cpu and the gpu?
That is a 150W GPU paired with a 65W CPU. Even with both running at 100% utilization you wouldn't break 250W. You would have more than enough headroom.
Think of it as a regular PSU, just smaller and with an external brick.
But than why would people recommend 500W PSU for i5 and 1060 pairing? What is the difference between HDPLEX PSU and an ordinary ATX PSU?
Thank you for the replies :)
what i don't understand is any mini itx chasis can accommodate normal ATX PSU if you do not go for water cooling? Why to spend a fortune on such product? - Anyone ?
Why you didn't put the cover over that lga socket if any of the pin bends your whole motherboard is ruined and that motherboard is a high end motherboard from asus and i am sure it cost more than 200$ for sure!!
That was 2017 and three years later you still can't buy it in germany
it can move a i7?
If by move you mean power, then yes
don t see the point of these psu as an sfx is smaller (doesn t require a powerbrick)
The point is to run full power components in extremely compact cases. Power bricks come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. They can also be placed/mounted virtually anywhere. My current PC is console sized but runs an i7 and 1060.
What is this case? :D
TheHazeShadow logic supply MC600
Logic Supply CL100, I did a review on it... ruclips.net/video/UX81ZBJ6B-k/видео.html
Tek Everything oh thanks bro ! sorry if you say it in the video, i'm french and my english is so so, so thanks lot!
Thanks for not having any stupid-looking thumbnails *cough* Linus *cough* .
Haha... yea I hate those with a passion
300w with a gpu wtf you need more watt than that to power a gpu you can like power a 1050 that has 75w i pci slot no Rtx 2080ti to this
I think that was a terrible placement for the psu, totally blocked all your sata ports and and really gets in the way of your ram slots.
300W should be plenty for a non K i5 and a RX 480
Dude, 300w is plenty for i7 and gtx1080. Those new cards require like no power.
thanks for confirming
Dont listen to this guy, GTX 1080 is 220 volts own its own
TheKhashMoney If you mean the reference GTX 1080 (180W), yes, but it you mean a Overclocking Card like the Zotac Extreme (270W) no
you don't buy a GTX 1080 and get the base mode(180w)l, everyone goes for the FTW or Classifieds(220-270w). Also a normal *base model* GTX 1080 would only work with a intel's cpu T models like the 7700t, 7600t, 7500t. Which are 35 walts. Any decent build with a180W GPU and 65W CPU wouldn't work with a 300W PSU.
Thanks Jay!
