>> The weird power supply limitations for using the board standalone, requiring at least a 100W supply for still less than full performance unless any battery is attached, also limits the flexibility
What? I've been thinking about a VISA mounted PC on the back of my TV. This board seems like a great idea, but 100W for a laptop board? Why? Are there some transients that need more than some caps can supply?
- starkparker 3y agoThere are community threads with details — there are more things to worry about than just the power supply, but it's the biggest and weirdest one. The AMD boards also don't ship with a RTC battery for regulatory reasons, and they use a two-pin connector instead of a bare coin cell. There are further port limitations for connecting a display when no OS is installed or the mainboard wasn't initialized in the laptop case. https://community.frame.work/t/recommended-watts-for-amd-coolermaster-setup/38317 https://community.frame.work/t/recommended-watts-for-amd-coo... https://community.frame.work/t/resolved-mainboard-standalone-w-o-framework-laptop-amd-7040-5-7640u/39301/7 https://community.frame.work/t/resolved-mainboard-standalone... https://community.frame.work/t/amd-board-solely-in-the-coolermaster-case/38608 https://community.frame.work/t/amd-board-solely-in-the-coole... The Intel boards also recommended 100W if there's no battery; the AMD issue is that _even with_ a 100W supply, performance is capped, and with a smaller power supply you might not be able to boot at all.
