- loopbit 7y agoI ended up going with this one: https://thepihut.com/products/anidees-6-port-smart-ic-usb-charger-50-watt https://thepihut.com/products/anidees-6-port-smart-ic-usb-ch... Have had it for a couple of months now with no issues.

- magicalhippo 7y agoAFAIK that 3A figure for the Pi includes power for the USB ports on the Pi. So if you don't load up the USB ports, you can get away with more like 1.5-2A, depending on what you do.
- alias_neo 7y agoThanks. I intend to use it as a cluster ski no need for USB peripherals, I'll keep that in mind!
- magicalhippo 7y agoFWIW my 4GB RPi 4 pulls about 1.2A peak when using the CPU full tilt. Haven't stressed the GPU yet so don't know about that. This without any USB except wireless Logitech keyboard/mouse receiver, and with Wifi enabled.
- alias_neo 7y agoUseful information thanks. That's much lower than the recommended 3A.
