I strongly suggest you thoroughly read the PicoPSU manual and specs before choosing components. Thank you in advance - this is my first ever custom build so any additional insights from people who have tried to accomplish this before is much appreciated. at as well as using this system for Dolphin emulation which will push at least 2 cores to maximum utilisation.

The reason for the 200 TDP target is due to my wish of running this with an PicoPSU 160-XT which peaks at 200W while being able to build an overall system capable of running model titles such as GoW4, Tomb Raider, Hitman etc. My understanding is that undervolting should lower overall TDP but it's not guaranteed how much a given CPU can be undervolted?

Ideally im looking for whatever model that can get me as close as possible to ~3.5Ghz with the lowest possible TDP.

So my question is if a i7-6700T model running at full turbo (3.6ghz) will consume more or less power than an i7-6700 running at base clock 3.4Ghz with undervolting? Plug the cord back in, wait five seconds and restart the Mac.I'm looking at building a system that has a ~200 TDP and as part of this i am struggling to figure out if i can / should go with a i7-6700 over the i7-6700T model.Īdding the non T model would mean an additional 35W TDP and that would go beyond 200 TDP based on this calculation: Shut the Mac down, then disconnect the power cord for 15 seconds. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) which runs several pieces of hardware, including the Mac’s power button.The operating system upgrade probably caused the shutdown problem. Diagnostic tests don’t show a hardware problem, but the operating system has suffered a “kernel panic.” What should I do?Ī. The Apple Store reloaded the Mac OS twice, but it didn’t solve the problem. Then the Mac began restarting when I tried to shut it down. My 6-year-old Mac mini ran fine until I upgraded the operating system to Catalina, or version 10.15.3. Reader Bruce Purnell agreed, but he said it may first be necessary to change the “preferences” in Finder or the “permissions” in the Mac’s Home Folder (for details, see /rt7sb8g). Update: Last week, I told a user of the Mac Catalina operating system to sync his iPod with his Mac via the Finder app rather than iTunes (see /we4z94d).
