Dimension E520 power supply rating?

Considering an update video card & need to know the power supply power rating on this system of 1-1/2 year. I don't see this in my paperwork anywhere & the case is hard to do. If someone here knows the answer, I would appreciate it.

  • Dimension 9200 Power Supply Removal

    Here's the scenario: we have a workstation Dimension 9200 does not illuminate. We concluded that food was dead. There was no light, no sign of power, then I found a supply of replacement and began to remove the old. I got all the cables connected and removed the screws that hold the power supply up to the posterior end of the case. But now there is something under the power supply on a support. How to get the power supply out of the case?

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Its a hook you press while you can drag slightly forward and out.

    1. Remove the cables in the power cable routing clip.
    2. Remove the four screws that attach the power supply to the back of the computer frame.
    3. Press the release button located on the floor of the computer frame.
    4. Slide the power supply approximately 1 inch toward the front of the computer.
    5. Lift the power supply of the computer.
  • Dimension E510: Power supply, video cards and fans...

    Howdy Dell Community!

    About 2 years ago I bought a Dell Dimension E510 desktop to game and machinima. It has served me pretty well until about a week ago lightning hit a tree outside my window while I tried to shut down my system. The storm came pretty quick and I didn't know that it was there only a rumble of Thunder, so I started to stop, but it was too late: smileysad:. The motherboard was virtually unusable. I took it to a local computer repair shop and the machine lights up and works just fine except for the card NETWORK does not work on the map AND if you did a RAM test that it would fail, but not one stick of RAM could be found with a problem. They ordered a replacement for my Dell motherboard.

    So I was thinking the other day, 'now would be a great time to make updates!". I put a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive to replace the old 80 GB Hitachi. I also thought to improve cooling, the power supply and the video card. I have a lot of questions so here Let's go!

    (1) can I replace the fan inside the shrowd of cpu with a spare fan fan, and if so what are the dimensions of the fan?

    (2) can / should I strap in a 80 mm fan / 120 mm at the rear of the case to increase the flow of air from the case?

    (3) I heard that put a spare PSU is FRY your motherboard. I don't want that, but Dell doesn't provide upgrades of power supply (isn't that Nice of them?). A power PC Power & Cooling 500W Dell will work with the motherboard and the case?

    (4) after installing a new power supply, something like an ATI Radeon HD 3870 would work well? (compatibility with the motherboard)

    (5) I read something about being owner or something in this sense (like my e510) Dell systems. What is c?

    Well, that's all for now. I hope that there will can help me!
    Thanks for your time.

  • Dimension E521 - Power Supply Upgrade

    I have a Dimension E521 opportunity and I am adding ram (4gigs DDR2 800 mhz) and the video card in my old machine (GeForce 7800GT 256 MB).  Right now the Tower has factory supply 305 w.  A regular diet of parts (such as the Antec EA650) gets back in this case, or should I use a Dell-specific clevain juvenay power?  Any info is appreciated :).

    Thank you!

    You should be able to go to the AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5600 +.

    Also the Athlon 64 X 2 6000 + should work, but make sure you buy the processor 89W version.

    First of all check if you have the latest version of the BIOS before the upgrade.

  • Pavilion a1540n Power Supply Upgrade

    I'm looking to upgrade my power supply (400w or greater) so that I can put in a new video card.  Known there for a replacement PS sources?  How easy is it TSE replace one of them?

    It's easy... Here is an article from HP technical support on a case that is very similar to yours:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01358091

    Basically,.

    Turn off the power and remove the side panel.

    Follow the wires of the power supply where they connect and lable them so that you know where they go - draw an image on paper to help remember you.

    Unplug the power inside the PC cables.

    Unscrew the 4 screws at the rear that hold the power supply to the case.

    Replace with a good ATX power supply. I would put in a power supply rated at 50 Watts higher than the required mark for the fancy video card you're shoving in you can even take the old power supply with you (if you buy in a store of the local computer). This way you can make sure all connectors that have used match and you will have enough connectors to all of your components.

    Insert the PSU and screw it with the 4 screws.

    Connect the cables, replace the side panel you and plug the power supply cord.

    Enjoy.

  • Power supply question - amber LED flashing - Dimension E520

    So, I'm working on the dust removal and re - install windows on a machine. I've done dusting, but now I have problems with a LED flashes orange. The system will not top all - fuel without fans or beeps.

    After looking through some posts for ideas, I think it is a bad power supply or a problem with the heat sink.

    I think power because this seems to be a common problem. How can I test the existing? Is there a way to fire unless it is connected to the motherboard?

    The reason why I am wary of the heatsink is that I removed it when I was doing the dusting. I had the intention of fire tonight and get a new thermal paste in the coming days. Since then, I have read that this could be a recipe for frying the total CPU and I wonder if the machine is not pulled up like a check for free preservation any.

    It detects if I removed the heatsink? If it's happening, it will automatically detect when the new thermal paste is in there? Or is there a reset procedure any?

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    As a side note, the design of this box is poor. I can't find some way to dust effectively the heatsink without removing it from the central unit. Supply openings do not match, so you cannot blow a good flow of air through the box.

    A flashing orange switch LED means that the computer is under voltage, but a power problem internal may exist.

    This may indicate a bad diet

  • Replacement of power SUPPLY Dell Dimension 5000 block

    Hi - I have a Dell Dimension 5000 (around 2005) with a duff ATX PSU.

    Dell p/n is CN-OC5201-17972-51R-1CNV and the model # is N305P-00

    I looked on this forum and the recommended not only equivalent Dell PSU (Antec TRUEPOWERII IPTI-430 430W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply) does not seem to be available (UK).

    Does anyone know of a compatible brand/model power supply that I can replace my diet duff with or where I can get a direct replacement from DELL for a reasonable price?

    I think my power supply DELL has these connectors:

    P1 - power of card mother ATX 24-pin
    P2 - 4 motherboard power PIN
    P3 - 4 SATA connector
    P5 - Ditto
    P7 - connector floppy 4pin

  • Dimension 4600 doesn't work with the new power supply

    Hi all

    I replaced the power supply in my 4600 today so he would welcome a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT AGP.

    The model is an integrator of Aerocool 500W 80 Plus Bronze. http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00JKVHKSU?

    The 4600 has two sockets on the motherboard. A 20 pin and 4 pin. The new power supply had a 24pin cable that I shared, so it became 20 + 4.

    It is not working properly. With all the connected cables (2 cables for the mobo) and 2 connectors molex to drive HARD and CD - R, there is a flashing orange light on the front of the computer and a green light on the motherboard. Some discs don't look, no noise. Nothing is on. If I remove the power cable from motherboard 4 pin POWER supply lights up and the fan from the CPU. There is no problem when I connect the old Dell 250w PSU back up.

    Some of the reviews on Amazon have said that some cable has been connected to wrong and only he re-wiring to work. I don't know if this applies to me? I took some pictures of the connectors. http://imgur.com/a/6m9pu

  • Update on power supply for Dell Dimension 4600

    I searched in the nets, but was not able to find an answer, so I hope someone can help.

    I received recently a 4600 as a hand.  I decided to set up as a game machine.  I know it's an old PC, but I do not anticipate play something newer than Battlefield 2142 (I use my Xbox 360 to play newer games).

    In any case, I was able to get a new Radeon X 1950 PRO on eBay for $35 shipped to replace a 6600GTOC whose fan has stopped working.  I thought that since I was the video card for a good price, upgrading the PSU still would be worth during the upgrade of the motherboard or get a new PC.

    I started to look at the power supplies and noticed that some of them have their own power switch.  This means that the power button on the front of the 4600 no longer works?  I would go with a power supply where can I still use the power button and should not spread in the back to turn on the PC.

    BTW, here's the rest of the features of the 4600:

    CPU: Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz (Northwood) - HT disabled

    RAM: 3 GB PC3200

    Readers: A WD 320 IDE, a DVD-ROM and floppy 3.5 "drive

    No other expansion boards outside the video card will be installed.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    When the power supply the on/off switch, you leave in the position 'On' and use the power button on the front of the computer.

    The Dimension 4600 has an open back panel, you can use most of the generic ATX PSU, with or without the market/on-off switch and with either a 20-PIN or 20 + connector 4-pin main motherboard.

    You should be able to buy food from the local computer stores.

  • Need the dimensions of XPS8300 power supply for the upgrade.

    So I bought a Dell XPS 8300 on sale Black Friday mainly because of the processor, RAM and HARD drive.  I need a new computer and wanted it to be fast but also wanted a desktop computer, because I intend to upgrade to a better quality of game.  I plan on upgrading the graphics card to a Geforce GTX 560 Ti FPB.  I understand that this will require a more powerful power supply and seeks to those at the moment, probably a 760W supply.  My concerns are mainly regarding the power supply box installation.

    Currently my XPS 8300 has a 7P3WV 460W power supply.  Part # H460AD-00Someone has dimensions on this so I can get a power supply that will compete?

    Or if no dimensions does anyone know of a compatible PSU?

    Finally, I intend to switch on the case and motherboard and all simply transfer on the parties but that is further down the road.

    Thanks in advance!

    nefastusaequitas

    Generic standard ATX power supply can be installed, with a power of 20 + 4 pin main motherboard, or 24 pins as the XPS 8300 has a rear panel open, with or without the on/off switch.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Note: A power supply with four SATA power connectors, is necessary.

  • 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.

  • Replacing the power supply on a HP Pavilion P6000

    Outputs video (DVI and VGA) were both released on my motherboard. Rather than go through the hassle of dealing with Microsoft if I had to replace the MB, I decided to install a MSI Geforce 210 graphics card and the existing PCI express slot. However, the existing power is rated at 250 watts and the new video card got a minimum rating of 300 watts. It seems to work, and I don't do any high-end graphics or game. My main uses of the PC are paying bill online, e-mail and a few online forums. Should I replace the power supply with a higher nominal? I have a Hiper Type R PSU which is estimated at 580 watts and was planning to replace it with the 250, but it looks like not her suits because it is deeper than the power installed about half an inch. The deeper power looks like it should stick on a half inch at the rear of the computer when it is against the stop before power in the case. I would like to have some advice on the use of the existing offer or be able to use my power Hiper 580.

    The HP Pavilion P6617C model, which is the number of product BT427AAR developed a standard ATX size power supply. Dimensions (as you know) are 5.9 "x 3.4" on the back and depth 5.5"in the case. The small metal latch/stop button to slide the power supply existing forwards (for removal). There really is no support.

    4 rear mounting screws fix the power supply of the Cabinet. Of concern would be the length, an added 0.7 ", as well as cables/connectors.  You can try the Hiper in the case, and if it fits, OK. Otherwise, I suggest a diet that actually matches the Rosewill 630W

  • problem with size of power supply for HP6774y upgrade?

    I ordered a power SUPPLY Corsair TX650M block as an upgrade. Do this in anticipation of adding a new video card. Thought I had done my homework in the choice of this power supply, but I'm a little distracted by the holidays.

    I was surfing just these cards and it is clear another poster that Corsair POWER supply does not fit well it is rated for this size case.

    Will want to return it without opening it if this is true. Can someone suggest a modular PSU that adapts no doubt? (I mean only to this one!)

    You will enjoy really any help/suggestions.

    (2) you bought a DIAMOND 6570PE31G Radeon HD 6570 1 GB 128 - bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x 16

    This card draws only 50W. It requires that no power does the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814103188&TPK=Radeon%20HD%206570

    (3) odered the Cosair TX650M

    Have you opened the file and actually measured depth of PSU exists on this matter. It should be 5.5 ". If you have another 'inch' of tolerance, I would not worry about it.

    As a comment, the 650 is excessive (IMHO), unless your planning on future additions, or perhaps improve the graphics of cards to the 6950 (which only requires a min of 500W).

    Your also right, I'm pretty critical of the dimensions of the Corsair. I see too many references to the OCZ and Corsair and rarely see a comment about you measure the depth of cementation, with the exception of the Big_Dave.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210y - upgrade power supply and graphics card?
