## Fan Selection  
  

*   We recommend a 12V, PWM-controlled 120mm fan that delivers a minimum of 60 CFM and 2.0mm H20 air pressure.
    

  

### Wattage on Fan Header  
  

*   Maximum of 2.4A@12V total across the 3 Fan connectors.
    

  

## Power Supply Selection  
  

You'll need an ATX-compatible power supply with 24-pin and 8-pin motherboard power connectors.  These can be in ATX, SFX, FlexATX, or other physical form factors.

*   For basic usage (128GB RAM/ 2xSSD/ WiFi/ Ethernet/ 1xAPU fan (0.8A)/ keyboard/ mouse), we recommend 300W.
    
*   If you're using the PCIe slot, adding additional fans, or expecting higher load on USB ports, we recommend a minimum of 400W.
