Dunno what came over me Thank you, those photos cover it nicely!
The cable seems to be quite bulky/thick, thatâs good to know. I would anyway wire it permanently into my desk, so this doesnât bother me.

Thatâs where I got it, came in like a week.
Yeah, it seems to work great. There was some noise but I attribute that to my cheap usb to display port cable and went away completely when I moved the cords away from each other. Iâm guessing with a better display port cable it wouldnât have been an issue.
Please test this and post results! We want to see numbers and dGPU performance!
I honestly wouldnât know how to benchmark it other than it works well and when Iâm going all out with gaming using my dGpu the battery no longer drains.
Oh wow, I never linked to the adapter on Digikeyâs website. Anyway, this is where I got it for those that want a link. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/delta-electronics/ADP-240KB-BA/23026419
Whoa was a bit confused. Somehow this Thread was merged with another 240w Charger Thread. It is amazing to see how fast digikey went. I ordered mine on the 26. and yesterday it arrived. From the US to Germany Order till Doorstep 4 Days was great.
Mods frequently merge similar threads. For a short time, the forum leaves the OP / top post of the previous thread. But itâs left a locked state with a link to where posts have been merged to. Additionally, all participants of the prior thread should get notified by the forumâs system that their posts have been merged into the new thread.
I am very much pleased with what they come up. but I still think it is a bit too big. and the cable is fixed as well.
I got mine as well. Running Cinebench and Furmark together in Windows 11, balanced draws 161 W from the wall. Best performance it shows 230W cars from the wall.
No battery drain!
More use needed so I can see how much more performance I can get as well as thermals (including the PSU itself).
It makes me appreciate the FW 180Wâs right angle connector, for sure. That straight plug just feels like it can get in the way in some circumstances.
Does this happen to you? At least on Linux, it will drain down to 30% and then lower to the balanced performance, which will stop draining the battery.
I am tempted to buy one of these, but a non-replaceable usb cable is a major drawback.
Well never happened as i stayed in balanced most the Time, due to i knew it would drain. I Use my Setup also for VR and there you do not get a Battery Warning. So getting an extra Notch on the GPU Helps alot too. Gets Hell of a Good Feeling to be able to use the Full Performance without worriyng about Breaks to let it Charge
Im curious - did you Cinebench R23 score increase? You would think it wouldnt. But just curious if it did.
Has anyone else run into issues with ordering through Digikey? I tried ordering it yesterday using a PayPal payment but got a note a few hours later asking me to wire them the money (at my expense) and also to send a picture of my ID card through âinsecureâ email. Not a great first order experience. I am just letting them cancel it.
@Arazil
The âADP-240KB BAâ is available from other suppliers, not only Digikey.
You could maybe try them?
I have not ordered it, as I donât need it as I donât have a dGPU.
No, I didnât have that experience at all. Sounds shady as heck.
Then again, I used my credit card directly, not PayPal.
What did you use for GPU benchmarking?
I just let Heaven Benchmark run and Check the Graphics Power by HW Monitor
Are you Windows or Linux?
