Fan power supply ATX Vostro 420 * or shot? !

I'm looking to replace the power supply in my Vostro 420 with a standard ATX power supply.

New ATX power supplies have a large 120mm positioned on top of the PSU fan. Does this or *?

It is important because the Vostro is not really compatible with ATX design - the case has a solid above the PSU Panel so that the power supply unit must be mounted with the fan down on the mother/CPU card. A fan which breath would simply blow the hot air on the CPU.

Conversely, a fan who * would * hot air from the motherboard in the power supply and on the side.

None of these options is great.

I am puzzled how to mount a new ATX PSU and if the fan * or breath.

What is the best way to mount a new ATX PSU in a case of Vostro 420?

The shift of the 4 screws on the back, you CANNOT point the fan at the top.  He is pointing down and draws air upward.  Graphics also of VENTILATION at the back. AFAIKT ZERO types bring in air from the rear.  Even the location VENTILATION fans in the back.

I hear from the front the front of the case.  The power supply is located on top of the CPU fan and hoovers to the top of the hot air and sends it to the back of the case.   This is the norm for almost all Dell I can think.  There are fans of aspiration to the front of the case and video cards and blow hot air from the PSU to the rear.

  • Power supply MT Vostro 270

    I have a Vostro 270 MT (Tower), what I want to change the power supply (at a much higher power rating). Can I replace it with any power supply ATX 24-pin? (IE - is feeding Vostro 270 MT a non-standard dell-specific wiring?)

    Thank you very much

    Yes, standard ATX power supplies, with a 24-pin or 20 + power connector 4 - pin main motherboard, with or without the on/off switch, would be compatible with the Vostro 270 m

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

    Note: For the Vostro 270 minitower, power with four SATA power connectors is required.

    Faziz, welcome to the forum.

    Since I do not know the model of the computer, I can't review the specifications.  However, if the power supply (PSU) fits into the computer, it causes no problems.  The computer uses only the amount of power required to complete.  High power will be used for peak power needs.  So it's alright to use the power supply of the computer.

  • Fan power SUPPLY XPS 8700 block

    I have an 8700 XPS which is now two weeks old.  The Tower began to make some strange electric tone and/or the sounds of gnashing especially at the start.  I removed the side cover and the noise is coming from the PSU.  Sometimes the power supply fan is running at very low REGIME and squeaks.  Other times at the start of the power supply fan turns at all and there is a strange electronic tone coming from the PSU.  If I move the blades of the fan with a plastic straw, the fan will run upward and tone noise subsides.  Faulty PSU?  The unit is under warranty, but having a Dell technician will come out can be a problem with my work schedule.  Reference Dell will send me a new power supply?  I don't mind reverse out and return the defective power supply.  Thanks for your help.

    As I suspected, the BIOS update does not solve the problem of power supply fan. But if the flash update had bricked motherboard, Dell should replace it as well as the power supply under the warranty.

    Dell computers may vary only the CPU fan speed based on heat, not their fan PSU OEM.

    Hope that the new power supply solved the problem and you can continue to enjoy your new toy.

    Post back and let us know what happens after replacing the power supply...

  • Power supply Dell Vostro 220 questions

    Hello

    We have a Dell Vostro 220, which has power problems.  He started intermittently but now it very rarely powers upward.

    The green light in the back where the power cable goes in turns.

    When I press the switch, it flashes orange once. Then the two fans start but stop after a second. Then they both start, less than a second. The power switch will Flash orange one more time. Then nothing. In the past, we could try once again and she would start, then it got worse and we need to repeat 10 or 20 times to make it work.  Now it seems that we could try all day and he would never start.

    I opened it to the top. Disconnected and reconnected everything and try again - it worked fine. But the next day it turns on again.  So I opened, and even once and this time I changed the CMOS battery. I've start it 3 times now and it has worked well, and the user used for the rest of the day.

    However, this morning, he refused to start up again. Same problem as before.

    Is there anything else I could try?

    Thank you very much

    Peter.

  • Pavilion m9670ch Desktop: replacement of the power supply

    I replaced the original power supply with another more powerful (550W) earlier, I bought a new graphics card. This power is very strong, that's why I bought a new DARK PRO 10 power SUPPLY ATX 550W. Now, the computer does not start. When I press the power button, the fan starts momentarily and stops again. All cables are correctly installed. I reinstalled the old power supply (fort) again and everything works normally (except for the noisy fan). I contacted the manufacturer of the unit from the POWER of DARKNESS, but he referred me to HP, because they did not have a solution, but it may be a peculiarity of the motherboard. What can I do?

    Hello

    Return the Dark Power Pro and get a Corsair CX500, or CX600.

  • The Green and black wire to three posts on HP POWER supply

    Hello!  I recently updated my old diet Pavilion 760n for a power SUPPLY ATX 500W PSU.  Everything worked very well.

    Uh, except that a small pig green and black of the former power supply... one that has been plugged in where it says 'PS - FAN' on my mobo.  I didn't have one of these same three grandsons connectors on the new power supply.

    And is even funnier, as the old power supply HP has a list on the side which shows what color wire has what voltage on it - red + 5V yellow is + 12V, black is ground, etc., but GREEN is not on the list!

    I opened my computer and big case fan is running (12VDC fan), the fan on the heatsink from the CPU works, the GPU card fan works... the only fan who is not running is the power supply fan (but I think it is because it is running when the power supply gets hot and she needs).

    Can someone tell me what this little piggy of son was for and what voltage it supplied, and how it is used? Thank you!

    It's your motherboard and I see that the outlet marked PS - FAN.  Apparently motherboard and bios controlled the speed of the fan to power supply.  It is the first time I heard of this, but then you have an older model of PC.  New power supplies have an internal fan.  The Green wire can be a signal wire.

  • Can I put the Pavilion Slimline 180 Watt power supply to a 300 Watt PSU

    Of course, you can!

    Here is an informational videoabout the possibilities of upgrading your slimline WHAT PSU found on YouTube.  A comparison of three power supplies, including the owner HP PSU and a (two video and CPU) stress test and comparison of noise is shown during the video.

    Be aware that some, but not all, of the PSU, upgrades require a simple and light your PSU slimline support change. Change depends on the power supply model chosen for the upgrade.

    Purchase an adaptor molex as HP UPE is necessary for the Slimlines using a power supply with the format owners microfit ATX 24 pin, as well as the standard for the HTPC power supply ATX 20 pin format.

    Upgrade your power supply at a higher power will not damage your motherboard. A power supply will provide only so much power that is required of him by the mother and peripheral card up to the nominal power of the installed PSU.

    It is for those who wondered how to work around the limitation of the low power 180 Watt power supply that most Pavilion Slimline PCs come with the Assembly. With a power SUPPLY improved, more memory and a graphics card discrete, including support (it is a requirement) your Slimline can be your gaming PC.

    Selecting a graphics card is another topic. Not all graphics cards can hold in the case of a slimline. It takes a low profile video card. They are available for purchase online.

  • HP power supply pinout incompatible with the standard?

    My machine is a P7-1370.

    While researching PSU's, I found this statement to http://www.smps.us/power-connectors.html:

    "Compaq and HP also used incompatible systems. As a general rule, if you have a brand PC,.
    you suspect that it may be incompatible with the standard of the industry. »

    But in this forum I read about the people, replacing the PSU in HP machines with Corsair etc.

    Is there any incompatibility in the HP pinout?

    Hello

    The new class of consumers HP PCs of my standard ATX power supply to use observation provides. Some of the class business PCS have been known to use propriety feeding.  You can find some of the old HP PC using a connector ATX 20.

    It takes time for the standards to shake.  While using a power supply ATX standard can save on costs, that it could not meet the requirements for a particular need, hence the need for a special model. Sequencing of its power for devices is a case I've seen in the past to power specialized.  Another situation might be a compact cabinet where a typical diet would not fit.

    I saw the power supplies that are interchangeable between Dell and HP.

    Use an adapter for your 2nd diet, it's what has worked for me.

    5.00 after all my research I've found the answer, it's not pretty, but it works.

    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.

    Add2PSU is an adapter popular http://www.add2psu.com/

    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.

    It was a nightmare for me and I don't want other people to have to go through what I did.
