So, I have this board X11SSH-CTF with a (Skylake) Xeon E3 and I am planning to buy this PSU 500W seasonic, SS-500L2U.
I have 12 WD NAS RED (3TB) and maxed out RAM. Will 500W suffice ?
CPU is: 80 W TDP.
Drives are: 4W (let's say 10W)
Board: can be probably ignored
RAM: can be probably ignored
4 Fans: 12v, no idea amperage so say 3.6 to 5W each. 20W
So 4*12+80 = 128W + 20W + 50% safety margin 222W, is that accurate enough?
Note: yes, I can somehow check sensors or connect to the APC and get more precise numbers but... I do not have a proper PSU to test at the moment.
If the above is correct, a PSU gold rated, 500W should be enough but I would like to confirm.
The board supports up to 16 drives.
