Do I need a bigger power supply

I recently bought a 1220T Pavilion that comes with a hard drive and a power of 300w. I intend to add a second drive for data (leaving software on the first hard disk).

I have to upgrade the power supply too?

This device does NOT have a separate video card and I don't 'play' on the subject, if this is useful.

Thank you!!

Thank you.

the plan has always been to just 'swap' in my old data disc when I move from one computer to the other... but with the price of a WD Black Caviar at $100... I might just buy a new place.

Thanks for your advice.

  • I need a replacement power supply.

    I have a HP Pavilion m9500z desktop computer and I think the power is out. Recently, the computer would stay on for 15 minutes the TI would go to sleep and would need to reset turn back on. I cleaned the dust thought it was overheating. When I put it back together that light shone for 5 seconds then went out. I tried different outlets and leave it unplugged overnight. should what power supply I? and where can I find an affordable replacement? Thank you!

    The m9500z is a (configurable) CTO unit and as such, may have differences of various materials. (More on that later). This is a generic power supply (PSU) supply Tester/tutorial. Here are various internal connectors.  (GPU) graphics card connectors are of most concern. Your system may have a PCIE card with a power lead adapter, converting 2 molex 4 pin 6/8 pin PCIE. Start the PSU and back track every lead, noting the connectors and compare the link. Don't disconnect anything. Just take note of what goes where!

    Plug a power supply 350W (with a marginal rating 65%) State. But the CTO config on graphics (GPU) GTS250 States to the requirements of a card 450W power supply. You really need to look at the label on the power supply of your device. If you need a new power supply, based on the tests, I recommend the Corsair 500W . It is energy-saving, and the power curve will provide the needed energy without constraint on the system. (Adding a supplement of 100 w ability helps).

  • Do I need a new power supply for D5200T?

    Hello. I intend to buy the D5200T in the next two weeks. I wanted to buy a Geforce GTX 260 pair up with her, but I don't know if the power supply will support it. There is absolutely no information on the power supply on hp other website that this is a unit of 460w. I know that some companies minimize their PSUS and they can deal with, so I'm not too worried that the card requires a min of 500w. But what I don't know is if the device has the necessary card connectors, which requires two 6 pin Molex disk hard power dongles.

    Could someone help me so I know if I need to get a new PSU loan when my pc is here? Thanks in advance.

    You are going to need a bigger ATX power. The PC you're considering is not a gaming system that comes with a pre-installed mondo GFX card. It has the graphics card integrated into the chipet.

    PSU OEM opportunities being an EPS12v or have additional PCIe connectors are next to nil. Call or email customer support and ask them. Tell them that it is one of your considerations of the purchase.

    Remember that NVIDIA 200 series cards are wide enough. In the views of the diagram of the motherboard and the photo, look at the coil and the chipset cooler. They are on each side of the PCIe - x 16 slot. The inductive coil is probably the show-stopper. It's a tight fit. I have to say that it probably won't be in good physical shape. It's too big for most PCs pre-constructed general public. The exception is the series of Dell's XPS and Alienware systems.

  • Need info on power supply for H8 - 1160T

    Hi I just got the Hp Pavilion H8 - 1160T I want to switch to a diet of brand of dough that I need to know what size psu for it is an atx PSU I thought upgradeing to a 650 watts of power pc & cooling PSU can someone help me

    You should review your choices and choose the modular variety instead. The space is a constraint, you must face. The power supplies are excellent, but the additional cables will take a lot of space in the PC case.  This could be a problem.

  • Is a power supply of 300 watts for an EVGA GTX 750 ti sc?

    300W power is the bare minimum for your system according to the specifications you noticed down and would be at the edge of the chasm with a Nvidia GTX added 750.

    Disconnect the USB ports wouldn't make a real difference. You would need a bigger power supply. I would go for a minimum 450W to give unused production capacity. What you don't want is a power constantly work at or near's maximum... :-)

    This power supply 430 Watt would work? Its the only one that I found which fits in my case.

  • p6203w M/N - 250 Watt power supply, to be upgraded.

    This model slimline I, p6203w, contains a small 250 Watt PSU.  I want to improve, but I fear that the new power supply may be too much physically.

    I know that I could just leave it outside the PC, but I prefer to have it mounted properly.  Are there updates available that will be adapting the standard framework p6203w?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The p6203w is not a slimline but a model middle of the tower.

    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...

    If you need a bigger power supply is for a larger video card?  If so, which card?

    Plug one of your SATA power to branch (from your current diet) on the cable resulting, plug your new power supply ATX ATX plug adapter and you're good to go. When your old power supply switch on the adapter will turn on your new, it's great.

    You could buy a dedicated power supply if you can find one, but I recommend not, they are expensive, make a lot of noise and heat.

  • Equium A200-1VO - what could be done to improve the situation of power supply?

    I recently bought an Equium A200 1VO as one second laptop - my other (an Aspire) is excellent, but a bit heavy in the basket to autour. Anyway, it seemed fabulous value and has worked very well so far - but I just discovered a catch today, the low battery life. I understand that this gap is shared with most of the other laptops of a comparable weight.

    In any case, I wonder what could possibly be done about (I often use my laptop while on the move, in locations without power outlet available, and less than 1 hour of power is very restrictive (I know powersave and others)-especially compared to my other laptop which is about 3 hours on battery)?

    Is there a portable power charger (the type with which you can load to the top of their rechargeable batteries on the sector, then take them and be able to charge mobile phones, iPods, etc. several times without needing an external power supply), as the Proporta one, who could charge a laptop as well (well, this laptop)? And how about the 9 cell Li-ion battery that sell Toshiba (or for that matter, one 6 cells)?

    How long will pretty much those give me? Are there other types of batteries that can be purchased for an extra life?

    Any suggestions on how I could get more autonomy would be most appreciated.

    Hi guys

    > what could be done to improve the situation of power supply
    You could buy a stronger battery which delivers more power for a long time
    You should take a look at the value of mA; more better ;)

    Also please don t forget that the Vista operating system needs more power as an early OS like XP.
    Vista needs more power because it wastes more computing resources.
    I read that a same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery with preinstalled W2K or XP.

  • Pavilion 500-516na: HP Pavilion 500-516NA 180w power supply

    Hi, I have a Hp Pavilion 500-516na, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon x 360 r7 just to give you a little extra boost, but on the specifications for the graphics card it says need a 500w power supply.

    Looking at the specifications of power supply in my machine it says he only 180w?

    It would be really too low to run the entire machine and if so I think I would need food also upgrade?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You good to go.

    You must coordinate the power requirements of the graphic replacement card with the power output on the new power supply (PS).

    Also check the measures of PS existing when buying a new PS

    A final exam is UEFI BIOS vs. You have UEFI. So the new graphics card must support UEFI, or have the ability to switch between each protocol.

    See you soon

  • 18.5V and 19.5V power supply compatibility, nc4200

    Hello

    I have a notebook nc4200 who needs a new power supply.  I chatted with a HP consultant and he said I could use one of the new 90W slim smart adapters for it, but who has 19.5V output (whereas the original adapter 65W 18.5V).  Smart «Say» network adapters they are retro-compatible with all professional laptops from HP.  How is it important to make coincide the tensions?  The laptop can compensate for differences of +-1 volt?  Thank you!

    Hello

    For voltage, + or - 5%-7% is ok, for power 90W is much better than 65W. Should be allowed to use the new charger.

  • new power supply and HARD drive for t350.it

    Hi, I should install an ATI 4650HD on a t350.it, but the requirements of the system says I need a 400W power supply, while this pc has a 220 W one. Can someone confirm this for me? In this case, can I install a 500W power supply in this pc? Another question, it should be installed even a 500 GB Sata HARD drive, but the location that contains the drives are very close, you can see in the attachment to page 104 page signed 'disco rigído' with the G, can this cause a problem of high temperature? This pc is compatible with a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB SATA?

    You are right.  Is there an AGP version of the card.  I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the correct version.  Many have made the mistake of buying the wrong type.

    Yes, the PSU's power supply.  Sorry for the use of the acronym without explanation. You will find it difficult to find a more powerful power supply which will be insert in your case.  The 220W is about it.  There is a lot of discussion on the forum about this problem.  I don't want to specify on the thing, however.  The amount of power supplied by a PSU is only as much as the system needs to run.  It has the production capacity of 600W, does not mean that it will be clocked at that power all the time.  It would not damage your motherboard (motherboard) If you have installed a.
