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.

    The Corsair CX600 is an exact fit and has the necessary wiring.  It is not easy to try to adapt the lengthy backup more.

    Nick, welcome to the forum.

    You can use any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I always recommend measuring the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose, however.  I love Corsair products.  Also, I recommend at least 500W; 600W is even better for future updates.

  • ENVY 700-327c: need Power Supply amperage on + line 12V

    I want to install a discreet graphics card in my new DESIRE c 700-327, who has a power of 300 W.  I need to know the available amps on the + line of 12V of power supply of the stock so that I could either one) choose a power card that works with the original, or b) improve nutrition.  Anyone know if the upgrade of the power supply will void the warranty?

    When in doubt, try the simplest thing first - look!  On the side of the PSU contained the information I wanted, unlike the HP PSU on my units of office earlier.  + 12Va - 12A line and + 12Vb line - 16A.  Don't know what line feeds the PCI-E slot, but neither is sufficient for the card I want to add.  Even my old EVGA Nvidia-powered card requires 18A on the + 12V line when it is matched witn an i7-4770.

  • HP ENVY PHOENIX CTO 810-135QE - 600 watts power supply Question

    In the near future, I would like to upgrade the video card in my desktop HP ENVY PHOENIX CTO 135QE-810 GT 640 default to something a little more powerful and I was wondering if there is any details about the default 600 watts power that will help me in my decision to the next video card.

    I know that some video cards require a number of amps on the 12 volt rail and all the information that I have found previously on the power of 600 watts power supply in the computer is not in that kind of detail.

    What I read, the power is a Petrus 600W e-star 5.0 Bronze, HP Part number 633186-002.

    Any additional details and details on this power to help me determine the next video card would be useful.

    On a side note the video card, I'm currently doing is one of the next Nvidia GTX 750 TI models, thoughts and recommendations on this specific map?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Your PC has UEFI bios, so most video cards should work.  Some video cards will work in UEFI mode and others in legacy mode, that your PC is able to run.

    When the manufacturer of the video card and/or AMD or NVIDIA specify a minimum power supply size then it is best to stick to this recommendation.  Not all power supplies are built to the same standards of quality.  In addition the internal components, temperature, charges unknown and time that the PC will be placed under the maximum load are taken into account at the recommendation of minimum power supply is indicated.

    I have not seen a power of 500 watts with 12v rating of 18A, but this does not mean that there is not. And if that's the case, then the total power rating is suspect. A video card that requires an external auxiliary power connector will also draw power from the PCI-E slot.

    Are there cases where the minimum size of the power supply is insufficient? Yes, those who might be extreme but someone can have connected to power different connectors either to avoid buying a new power supply or maybe around just the food manufacturer minimum power rating. Some may do it thinking 'I'm going on fox the Fox ". It can work, but maybe the questions later start occurred.  I prefer to get the job done right the first time. You don't need a power supply to perhaps of overload and short circuit then internally causing spikes to the components in the PC.

  • HP Envy Pheonix 810-210: Possible POWER supply problem?

    I bought the HP Envy 810-210 a Phoenix earlier this year and recently replaced a 645 GTX graphic card a GTX 960. When I replaced it I noticed the power cord was appropriate is more good in the power supply and can fluctuate a little. Now when I move my PC, the power cord will be disconnected and will Crackle. This turns off my computer and I have to tinker with a correct position in the socket to restart.

    What would be the recommended action for this? Is this a problem of cord or plug, do you? Y at - it a power supply that matches or is better than that which is currently in my computer (here), which will be a fit if it needs to be replaced?

  • Want to Phoenix 810-330qe: upgrade, update necessary graphics card power supply?

    I'm a Phoenix 810 - 330qe, currently equipped with the stock Nividia GTX 745. I bought a graphics card GTX 970 upgrade for better gameplay and use of possible VR helmet. I have not yet installed, but wonder if my power supply must be upgraded to handle it all. If so, will what power take?

    The new card is spec'd to draw 145W and recommend a power of 500W. The 745 GTX is spec'd respectively 55W and 300W. The current stock PSU is rated at 500W, but do not know if that pushes its limit. The only other setting I had installed an SSD alongside that of stock.

    Help suggestions, thank you.

    I would upgrade the PSU, considering that you've also added an SSD.

    Take a look at the Corsair Builder supply.

  • HP Envy 750-116: can anyone recommend an upgrade of the power supply for HP Envy 750-116?

    I have a HP Envy Office 750-116 and need to replace the power supply 300W with an upgrade to a more powerful.

    I was look at is CORSAIR CXM CX550M 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE or the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80 series. I have kniow that they are all two excellent PSU.

    My concern is with the connector that the 750-116 uses to the optical drive. Looks like the kind of connector you see go to a laptop, DVD player. (It of really small and is marked P5)  I have a spare part HP 460W PSU I could use, but it is not a connector that would work. So I hesitate to buy Corsair or the EVGA without knowing if I'll be able to plug into this weird DVD connector in the HP Envy.

    Someone out there has run into that and find an answer?

    Bill

    Optical drives are still a thing? Wow! Any ways OP. On these new machines. HP uses a slim with an owner drive

    Connector for it. You won't find it on the other PSU. You will have to abandon the drive if you replace the stock PSU.

  • HP ENVY 700-527c: upgrading of power supply and graphics card, need help

    You just bought a NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - silver/black for my HP ENVY, but the food I have in my computer does not support this graphics card. So I was wondering if I bought the Black Corsair - CX series modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply - if it could fit in my computer and function properly with the graphics card and all the rest of the computer.

    Almost thought you made a mistake, but you do not have BIOS rev 8 because this unit originally comes with WIN 8. The GTX 970 attracts only 145W. Corsair CX750M is3.39"x 5.91"x 6.30".  It is profoundly in your case, without connectors.   You have so much room between the existing power supply and connectors for DVD?  NVidia recommends a 500W, I would say the 600W modular version.   Its depth is 5.51 ".

  • HP Envy 15 "touch screen power LED appears, but the fans does not and the screen does not light

    Hello!

    I'm a student in computer engineering at the University of Waterloo 1A, and I run a very serious problem with my HP Envy 15 "TouchSmart laptop computer running Windows 8.1. It is a problem that just started today, and I'd rather have a first support here before going to see the technical support Office sometimes tomorrow. It has to do with the screen and the fans where the Power LED lights in white, just as when the laptop works properly.

    (I have warranty on the laptop when it was purchased last June, except that if I find that I need to get a replacement, I'll lose all my work, I did on that since I started my semester.) It's so silly of me not to have all my work saved on a backup, because I have an external hard drive. Problem is, I've had too many problems in getting myself organized, I'm not being open-minded as I should, and worse, I'm not a balance between life and work at home.)

    Before I had my MATH 117 conference (Calculus 1 Engineering), I was in a nearby lab where my laptop was open and turned, works correctly. I've had NetBeans IDE running since I wanted to work on the second part of my current assignment of CS 137 (principles of programming). Because it was almost time for my presentation, I closed the laptop by simply moving the screen down on the keyboard, where it goes into mode 'sleep'. (Whenever I flip to the top of the screen, the laptop is supposed to return, and the sliding screen of Windows 8.1 connection will appear.)

    When I took my seat for reading, I wanted to spend a little time to work on my programming assignment. However, after the reversal of the screen to the top, instead of having the login screen appears, I encountered the problem: the power supply light is showing a white light, but I don't hear the fans between the ventilation openings on the left side of the laptop and the screen does not light. I tried to take the power for several seconds and once button at least 10 seconds, except that the power light continues to display on a white light. The Commission of the Wi - Fi light is not displayed.

    Whatever it is, I don't want to take out the battery because I have that on my last laptop, and it's from there that I couldn't turn to the former, a new market. If I leave the Envy laptop battery, it will short-circuit the connections between the battery and the computer, and so several components will FRY. For now, what I do let the laptop is to empty the load on the battery. Then, once I noticed that the power light does not project a white light, or plug in the AC adapter and try turning the laptop on the power button.

    It will take a little while for the circuit drain the load on my battery but...

    Anyway, please would you be kind enough to help me with this problem? I would really appreciate if you can give me several recommendations. Thank you!

    Is there a guide to remove/replace these parts with this particular PC/case? Even the guide, I would like to know if it's important what part is replaced first.

    Shwop, welcome to the forum.

    This is the section addition / replacement the computer.  It has a guide for all components that you want to add or replace. including video card and PSU.

    The video card that you have chosen is not appropriate in the space provided.  You should go to the manufacturer's Web site to get the length.  You can make a model of the size of the card to see if it will fit.  Add at least an inch if the card has some additional power connectors.

    The power supply (PSU) should fit without any problem.  The computher uses a standard ATX PSU.  You can measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  Personally, I like Corsair PSU.  They are a little more expensive, but are amateur quality.  It will give you a good clean and stable power to operate the system.

  • Envy of HP dv7-7255dx live replacement

    I have a HP Envy laptop dv-7225dx money. Recently, one of the screws got loose somehow and I didn't notice it until it broke. Now, I have lost the screw and part of my laptop is literally coming out when I open my laptop. as a result, I have to use a bit of force to back up.

    I have a few screws but none that are small enough.

    Anyone know where I can get a couple live replacement (in case this happens again) and how it would be?

    I know, the screw is close/end, small and black. Also if anyone knows the extent of the screw would be great!
