So the plan is to take my 4 card rig off my inverters and run directly from DC I understand the inefficiencies of using dc to dc will probably exceed the losses of using my inverters. But that load on the inverters will shorten their lifespan for sure.
I already have a24pin Pico 160w12v adaptor for a computer motherboard, and happy with other than quite a bit of heat from PCB from constant use. I think this could be overcome by upgrading the cables on it.
The pico will take care of the 12/5/3.3 v rails - video cards and risers will (in theory) be powered by720w 60a DC-CD convertermight have to run two for a larger rig but 3-4 cards might just scrape it in if the 'specs' are accurate.
Can anyone see any flaws in my plan?
