Area51 R2 modular power supply

Howdy!

I need to add a Firewire/1394 card has in my new Alienware Area51 R2 machine.  I was really surprised that he does not understand this (or E-SATA) - should have looked more carefully.  I will also add a 7 port USB-3 cards from my old machine I received several complaints about not enough system resources to support all my USB devices.

However, it does not resemble any connections of power supply type Molex 4-pin cables are available in the machine.  I have power 850W and it is modular (something I wasn't expecting) and it has two free 6-pin ports.  Alienware is not seen fit to provide additional cables (unless they are hidden somewhere), so I found an appropriate aspect 6 pin to 4 pin in a cable tray.

Before I attach to it, can someone please tell me if this is appropriate?  This is the cable:

There is a connector 6 pin (with 4 of those who actually connections and two draws) on one end, four connectors from Molex Garland along the cable (two visible in the photo) and a small connector 4 pin (perhaps for diskettes) at the end.

Before I risk this connection to the machine, can someone confirm that Dell now uses the standard power supplies?  I know that in the past Dell used pinout owners who would fry a motherboard not Dell.

Is what I have above duly standard now?  Thanks for your advice.

Because it is a 3rd party device, we are unable to confirm its full functionality. However, I can confirm that we use standard power supplies.

    My HP P6203w has a 250 watt power supply, it can switch to a diet of 300 or 350 watts?

    Yes, it can take any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I normally recommend at least 500W; especially if you want to eventually upgrade to a dedicated video card.  You can measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  I love Corsair products.  A modular power supply will work fine in a medium-sized business.  You don't have to use cables that are not needed.

  • Pavilion p6000 series p6633w: power supply upgrade

    Is the format of p6633w and atx pavilion for the power supply compatible, I couldn't find a HP 400w PSU.  They offer a?  The power supply I found is in atx format.

    Thank you for the additional information.

    The power supply unit (PSU) is a standard ATX.  You can use any brand.  As a precaution, I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.  I love Corsair products.  In addition, a modular power supply is good for cases of average size.  You can only use the cables needed to allow better air circulation in the case.  I recommend at least 500W.  This will allow more power over the maximum use.

  • Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

    I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

    Well, we meet again.

    While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

    This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

  • HP Envy 750-177C: update video card and power supply

    Hi I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a 2 GB video card that can fit in my camera, and if the power supply must also be of a certain type, thank you.

    @Docta1, welcome to the forum.

    Here is a video card that will definitely work with your computer.

    The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is stanard ATX.  I love Corsair products and recommend at least 600W.   A modular power supply is good for small boxes.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better air circulation.  The video in my link card requires a connector 6 extra pins.

  • Prodesk 600 G1 TWR: problem of power supply internal

    Hi, I have a ProDesk 600 G1 tour version. I already bought a GEForce GTX 750ti graphics card a lay-off day, but when I install this card it says I must first of all insert the PCI-e power connector (connector 6 pin) and it no longer starts. My problem is that the standard 240W (?) Block of power SUPPLY of the PC is not enough as: 1) it is under powered and 2) power supply does not have a detached 6 pin PCI-e connector to plug into the map. I tried some of the PSU, but nothing I've tried works as my standard motherboard does not have a connector 24 pins, which is have the PSU.

    Long story short, please tell us what modular power supply I can use (thinking of the Corsair CX600M) and will work with my PC. Not too worried about size - more concerned about a power supply with all the correct connectors. Thank you much in advance.

    In polite terms (IMHO) @Big_Dave tried to explain that it is IMPOSSIBLE.

    Because the motherboard only has 2 power headers (a 6 pin and 4 pin) that is not a standard ATX format.  You cannot use an ATX power supply, it will not work.  Here is a list of parts, graphics cards that would work with 320W PSU, your computer has.  The upgrade and Service Manual is here.  Please note pgs 11 + on the internal components.

  • Upgrading power supply on HP Elite 7500 to install radeon AMD 7850

    Hello

    I really hope that you can give me some advice.

    A friend has an HP Elite 7500 and just bought a Radeon 7850. I had a peek inside. I'm a little nervous with microtours so I just wanted to check a few things.

    The PSU needs to upgrade to at least 500w. A standard power supply is suitable?

    Is there anything else I should be aware of?

    I am nervous that it is some non-standard configuration and can not find a lot of useful info to help me get started.

    Thanks and best wishes

    CaptainOnions, welcome to the forum.

    Here is the Interview Guide & Service for the computer.  What I see in the diagrams, it emerges that the power supply unit (PSU) is standard.  The ATX connector on the motherboard is 24 pins.  However, I suggest to measure and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  They will provide clean and stable power to the system.  They are passionate about quality with a reasonable price.  I recommend at least 600W.  This will allow in the future for updates.  OCZ has done a very good modular power supply.  It is excellent for smaller cases.

    I suggest to measure the space for the video card, as well.  Allowing you to measure from the rear i/o ports to the opposite side of the computer.  Plan a boost for the power/s Connector required by the card.  The HD 7850 I have looked at has two 6-pin connectors.

    If you have any other questions, let me know.

    @dsm451, welcome to the forum.

    I think that it is a standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  You need to measure the area where the power supply will be installed.  Then choose a power supply that will fit in this space.  This is a power supply which should work.  Here are the steps to do this: 5.9 "x 3.39" x 5.51"."  It is 550W modular.  Modular power supply is good for small enclosures because you can only use cables that are absolutely necessary.  I always recommend at least 500W.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer.  It is not the place to save money.

    I reasontly bourght a few upgrades for my PC.

    So my question, what ive in doubt, my new PSU(CX-500) work with my motherboad (MS-7613(Lona-GL8E)?

    Thanks in advance

    René Tyrsted

    Thank you.

    Yes. It will work.

    However you will probably find a little tight because of remaining unused cable bundles. My preference for the PC ATX Mid-size boxes are of the modular power supply. With a modular power supply connect only s connector as much as you want.

    Do the upgrades one at a time.  Start with the power SUPPLY and any other origin. Check that it works and then close.  Then go to the graphics card.

    Happy update.

  • Aurora r5 stock heatsync voltage problems with evga modular 750 watt power supply

    The stock fan on the heat sink thermal condition of the R5 Aurora stock runs just as fast as it can while holding a 6700 k, you mind, at a steady temperature around 30 C idle. Previous the cpu and psu were almost silent, whereas now the fan seems to run to rpm max powered an EVGA 750 watt p2 modular power unit cpu1 slot. How can I reach the bios to lower the fan speed?

    Yet, I am not "awake" not until the Caffè Verona + mix roast French kick. I do not have the model of your computer, but your service PDF manual available for download on the R5 Dell.com support page lists the Bios options, lists the right place to connect the fan to & lists the keyboard button to push to enter the Menu of the Bios. At a time like this, I could put back the original power supply in there, confirm the fan installs, if so, replace the new power supply in, see if again deploys spazzes

    but I don't think it's the power supply

    If your bios menu has no control of the fan speed, a swap of psu se do not spin faster or slower radiator fan. If you have ordered the 6700 k to the Fund, you would have power 850w. If you have installed the 6700 k yourself, using pneumatic radiator, it is possible the 95 watt cpu needs best, as the cooling liquid cooling. I see you're at 30 c idle, but it seems that the fan is bad fan... header check than 1st, see options in photo here: Alienware Aurora R5 - fan CPU 100%

    • Edit: @Hockeytown messaged me: "I eventually replaced the H80i Corsair GT for a 550LC Asetek ebay OEM pump. "This has solved my problem of fan and I am now able to connect via the (Top_fan + Pump_fan) factory setting and not errors.
    • @Hotarri installed Corsair H60

    It is possible, the motherboard as expected 'react' different when deleting in the 6700 k; It is possible that since 6700 k factory liquid cooled, the spazzes motherboard when the owner puts 6700 k themselves but without cooling liquid, such as a small problem, uses one table different fan / or a set of parameters of the fan speed (6700 k + pneumatic radiator = incompatibility) that hopefully you can change in the Bios somehow somewhere but maybe not

    It is possible that you can hand-place 3rd fan header 'pump', trying to fool the mother board, lol, see if the cpu fan slows down as a test. Still, I do not have this model, I think that the motherboard that waits for a signal fan/tachometer on the header of the pump in response to 6700 k, good luck with it

  • Power supply selection guide

    This MOD can make a post-IT.

    Here is a general guide on how to select a power supply for your HP desktop computer.  The majority of the standard ATX power supply (PSU) must fit in an envelope of HP.  The exception would be a slim casing or the esoteric Merle.

    Looking for a certification 80 + on the PSU to save electricity.  A PC is normally idle or operate at low load 75% of the time.  Therefore, to find a power supply which is more effective in the range 50 - 90W.  A power supply 80 + 350W reaches the level of efficiency of 80% at the exit of 70W (20% of rated output).  The output must be greater than 140W to achieve the same level of efficiency of a PSU of 700W 80 + equivalent.  So choose a power supply that is rated at 25% more than the maximum load of the ACTUAL spending of the rig you will save more of $ on electricity.

    A modern PSU is designed to achieve maximum efficiency between 20 and 80% of the nominal power.  Running a power supply above 80% charge level will result in excessive heat, noise and premature failure.

    A platform Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 (1024 MB of RAM) will rely on 350W max to the wall.  Taking into account the effectiveness of a block of power SUPPLY 80 +, the actual load on the power supply is only 280W (350 x 0.80).  To calculate the required power supply, multiply the actual load by 1.25 (25% margin).  In this case we only need a PSU 350W (280 x 1.25) to run this GPU.

    Let's apply what we know of a rigging of Radeon HD 4870 (512 MB RAM).  290W max to the wall.  Actual load is 290W x 0.80 or 230W.  Now, apply the 25% margin rule and we come to a requirement of 290W PSU (230W x 1.25).  Even if we apply a safety margin of 50%, the power required is always under 350W (230W x 1.50).

    There are no overspec need the power supply by 50%, unless you run your PC up 24/7.  Don't forget that there is a huge variation in the quality of the PSU and side.  Maybe a good 500W PSU is not able to provide as much energy as a quality 350W.  Antec Earthwatts/NeoPower/TruePower and Corsair Seasonic are widely available at several American retailers of quality units.

    High-end power supplies number will need additional power supply PSU in the form of one or two 6/8 pin plug GPU.  You can buy an adapter to convert a molex 4pin to plug 6-pin power of GPUS.

    Hi Nautsj,

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. technical characteristics
    2. the total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4 modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. guarantee
    6 i7 and SLI ready
    7. energy efficiency
    8 cost
    9. size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. a single + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

    The typical EVGA GTX 570 in 9 "long.  The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.  Open your PC and do some measures so that you know for sure if the card fits.  According to me, it will fit.

    For what is a PSU, Corsair CX600has very little growth, but the Corsair HX650gives you plenty of space to grow.

    I use the HX650 in two PC.  It is a modular model in order to have better options with the selection of cable.

    "How-to" HP articles should be useful.

    TIP: When installing the power supply, unlock the scanner and slide it forward to facilitate the removal and installation of the new power supply.

  • POWER supply upgrade

    I'm buy a GTX 660 Performance Edition and replace my GTS 250, so I need to buy a new power supply or I do?

    I used a simulator of power on Newegg http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html

    and I'm 11 Watts is more than OK? I strongly believe not, but I would like a second opinion and explanation of the consequences.

    Also I just found out that my current settup is 24Watts on yet I'm running OK I guess. PSU reached the high celsius of 60 s at full load.

    I was looking around power supplies, but the few I found in my price range do not have the same dimension that my current has.

    The main thing I need to know is where can I buy compatible power supply for my HP Pavilion Elite m9277.uk, a desktop PC?

    I would really appreciate an exact PSU for 500-600 w to €60 or less.

    My specs:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01469326

    I changed the 9800GT for GTS 250 1 GB GPU and I am upgrading again for a GTX 660.

    I have also excluded the tunner TV my PCI slot and no longer using HP removable HARD disc if Bay that makes a difference.

    Thanks for reading my long comment, I think I've met as a beginner, but bare with me, I'm not.

    It's like buying a car.  You pay the best features you get. Those you have posted is OK, a little low. The wattage is actually a trick few because a grade A 500w will in fact on most power cleanser in conditions normal operation than a budget model. Bonds, for example, put the better energy at higher temperatures. Any food you get these days will have the connectors you need. And in any case you can use a standard molex plug for power to the video card video cards usually have an adapter in the box. I personally like modular PSUs because that basically custom, you can do the installation and power cables that you actually need. None of the above are modular.  Modular costs a little more. The connector you want to be sure to have is the power of 6-pin pci-e. They have all taken P4 auxiliary these days. The first that you shown above has a list of connectors and I can confirm that it has everything that you will need.

    And the industry standard power supplies... ATX is a power of a specific size, and they should be inter changeable. Just to be sure, however, to measure the old and compare to the new dimensions. I've updated the power supply in this unit, and he was able to use the industry standard ATX power supply.

  • HP ENVY Phoenix 850-065se: HP ENVY Phoenix 850-065se Power Supply replacement Question

    On point to start using my new 850se and, like others, have long-term supply concerns with the unit from 500W to come with this model. Finally the PSU will have to be dealt with during the upgrade or this power will die quickly.  I thought I could just install a Modular 750W Cool Master PSU I have to just to fix the problem from the outset for the life of the platform. I jumped open the case and power supply cables was moving to look at and check the PSU is actually 500W (it is).

    At first glance, everything in the 850se looks compact and compatible with a new PSU standard - then something cought my eye. Someone else saw the connector connecting the power supply that connects in the CD player? I'm not some tech pro by any means, but I'm not completely new at this stuff, and for the life of me I can't understand what is the connector. I am confused where I am fearful that it's some exclusive HP nonsense. I have never seen him and can not find maps while rummaging around looking. My only thought was there must be an adapter for the FDD or the 4 pin connector. I hope it is something simple that, for some reason, I just never saw.

    If it's something completely owner, then I guess I can go along without the cd player. It's not like I need for what these days - but would of course I would powered it so it is an option.

    Help at all or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Specs below:

    Kupchr36, welcome to the forum.

    The PSU is ATX standard.  You should be able to update without any problem.  However, until you decide to upgrade the video card, it should work fine.  There is a lot of power for OEM components.  Personally, I love the Corsair products.  They are lovers of quality at a reasonable price.
