Which is better choise for carpc? I need one good power supply which will work normaly when we have outside 35-40°C and in car has been about 40-50°C or more... I have AC in car but carpc work alltime(in S3 sleep) so power suply must work normaly...

From what I know, they are both quality products.
The M4 has a bit more power output (30w).
I have a DSATX and am very hapy with it.

voted for DSATX, even though I've never played with a M4, I like my DSATX very much. Only thing I wish I had bought the brainstem for the DSATX when I bought the DSATX. The tiny pots are a little difficult to get the time and voltage settings set perfectly. Such is life, but I still love it...

Until now Im using M2-ATX.
First work good with first carpc
Second with new carpc doesn't work ok, so Im decide to change it for something better...
First Im looking for M4-ATX then Im see DSATX which I can connect to USB/SERIAL and analyse rails and acc voltage, but Im read that few guys have overheating problems...
So I don't know which is better choise...

One question. Is possible on DSATX disable hard off time? Default is set to 1200, but I need this function disabled... Is this possible?

Yes this is possible.

There is a setting for that that you can program over the brainstem.
