H610M-ITX vs i5 12400

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello. I'm building a small home server. Currently, only the H610M-ITX/eDP remains on the market in my region. That's my question. Can this motherboard use the full power of the Core i5 12400, or is the Core i3 12100 the best option for it?
What is the limitation on the total power consumption of this motherboard?

	well, my suggestions are somewhat like this... H610M-ITX has 6 drMos 50A = 300A drMos has ~90% output => H610M-ITX can hold 270A in ideal environment. I assume that real environment can hold 270A / 2 = 135A without explosion. i5 12400: 120W / 1.5V = 80A it's UHD730: 15W / 1.5V = 10A 2xRAM: 5W per slot * 2 / 1.35V XMP@3200 = ~8A NVMe SSD: 10W / 3.3V = 3A SATA SSD: 10W per slot * 4 / 5V = 8A in total: 80A+10A+8A+3A+8A = ~110A of 135A and ~25A to dissipate on other micro stuff. verdict: H610M-ITX can hold i5-12400 without discrete GPU. well, if my calculations are near to reality, it's ok for me.
