Hi. I want to create a handheld gaming computer out of this PICO-WHU4-A11-0004 motherboard which can be found on :
https://www.aaeon.com/en/p/pico-itx-boards-pico-whu4
I thought this would be wonderful since it has an imbedded i7 processor with quad core up to 4.4GHz
I was thinking about a dedicated mobile GPU issue regarding the Mobile GTX 980 :
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-980-mobile.c2763 - This card is a small business card sized GPU suitable for most gaming laptops. It has 4GB of VRAM and a fast memory clock. So I was thinking to connect this card using a MXM 2 mini PCI-E adapter or cable but I was worried about the power, because the power input to the PICO ITX board only gets 12V , so the whole board gets only 12V and how much would the GPU draw from the MINI PCI-E expansion slot and how much would the expansion slot give to the GPU and what if I want to run AAA games on high performance mode on the GPU? It would be impossible. So I thought instead of using it plugged in all the time I would get around it using small NCHI batteries either 10-20* of these won't hurt but it would be impossible to fit it in the handheld case 3D printed of course.
Don't worry about the case I can use a 3D printer to make it at a later stage. I just need some tips and ideas.
I need to connect a mobile GPU to the mini PCI - E expansion slot on the PICO ITX board and somehow gain full power and wattage for the GPU card so it doesn't throttle. Any ideas on how to do this? I don't care the amount of time it takes for batteries to charge.
I need batteries to be NCHI ones and rechargeable ones and the battery pack needs to be ultra light and sleek, flat and think so it fits just like in a Nintendo DS system or the GPD WIN 2 device which is a handheld gaming computer but its a i5 quad core but it lacks a dedicated GPU. I can get it but it lacks a dedicated GPU - that's the only problem so I try to make my own handheld like that.
Do you know how to get a battery like that on board or ultra light laptop type which will enable me to run a gpu like the 980 mobile edition on full power and on high performance mode using the cpu allow me to game 5-7 hours on full power and on balanced mode 8-9 hours maybe?
I don't care about the price. My budget is 4K. I already have a gaming pc and its not handheld. I have 208GB of ram, i9 9820K cpu, X299 UD4 Pro motherboard and the best hardware. I can get something like zotac mini pc and turn it portable and put batteries in it and attach a 7" screen to it and use it my way but the only problem is that its not fanless and it needs lots of power.
