Can Zimaboard 832 power Intel Arc A310?

[therealbatman09]

Hi community,
can zimaboard power intel A310 Eco? i’m looking into purchasing it and have it trans-code some videos for me. I’m not quite sure how to go about setting up either using Zima. Any advice or guidance will be much appreciated. Thank you

I managed to find the answer in pci express card electromechanical specification revision 2.0

Table 4-2: Add-in Card Power Dissipation

Not quoted, but interpreted :
Initial power up max
X1 = 10watt, X4/8 = 25watt, x16 = 25 watt.
If add in card configured as high power device:
X1 = 25watt, X4/8 = 25watt, x16 = 75watt.

These limits appear to be the same in the newer revisions 3.0 and 4.0. I haven’t look at 5.0 though.

I found this earlier today and if that is correct it should be possible for the zimaboard gen 1 832 to run with the Intel arc a310, if you also get atleast a 12v 5amp PSU. But if you’ve already tried the configuration please let me know how it went.

I’ve also just bought similar for my own setup and will be attempting it before the end of the year.
