HP Pavilion 500-326na: upgrade of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-326na

Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na. I now want to update its graphics and to do this, I need to power level. I want to upgrade to a CX500, but the specs say that his current power is "external". I don't know what this means, and indeed, I don't know if I will be able to upgrade. I see no reason why I shouldn't be, but everything I've seen only offers assistance on internal types.

Thanks for any help.

Hello

Look at the power supply cord.  If you have a device of black brick similar to those for portable computers, then you have an external power supply. PC with external cannot be upgraded with the installation of an internal power supply as a Corsair CX500 according to HP internal.

  • HP Elite 1090-T H8: seeking your suggestions for upgrading the power supply for a new video card

    I have a HP EliteH8-1090 t who is about a year, but with an AMD Radeon HD 6570 low power graphics card and a 450W power supply. I want to upgrade the 650W power to support the installation of a replacement graphics card.

    I tried to replace the HP 450W with Corsair TX650 and Corsair TX850 food. The system appears to power (DVD drawer opens and closes, the hard disks spin, fans run) with either a Corsair, he's stuck at this point. My system is unable to enter start mode when either power supply is installed - it seems stuck in a mode of seed, and the monitor still asleep.

    Can someone please advise on a compatible power supply for HP system? I'm puzzled by why a simple exchange of a power supply does not work. Just like a record, the system has a card mother Pegatron IPMTB-K (Truckee).

    Thank you!

    No problem. I wish you good luck with it. On a positive note the HX650 is a much better than the TX650 ILA unit internal quality and what I like is the best it's quite fan fan much quieter than the TX650 while helping your organization of cable being modular and help keep temperatures cooler in your computer case.

  • Pavilion 500-329: to upgrade my power supply for my new GPU

    Hi, I recently got and 660 GTX ti as a gift from a Guild mate. Unfortunately, the stock PSU is a potato (very) disappointing 300W. Who also likes to scream when I'm still so things like move my mouse. Wonderful innit!

    in any case, I've been shopping around for a PSU that could fuel at least my graphics card for the recommended specifications, 450w, unlike what is 240 R7 in the system right now, which is recommended to have 400w... And I managed to find one that meets at my expecations in size and power output.

    I just want to see if someone has comments on the sizes to enter in the case of Pavvy 500-329.

    Since your Canadian, I took the liberty of a few analyses available of the PSU.

    Your current system has a R7-240 which is inspired by 30W.  The GTX660ti attracts 150W.  The net difference is 120W.  The original power supply is 300W but it is a maximum.  You'd never see your car top SPEED!

    I would like to see you get a Corsair CX CDN 96,19 600W as your choice. Here are the specifications.   It's 80 + efficient power consumption curve and focus not on your system. It is also an RIGHT in your system.  If cost is a concern, then I suggest you step down for the 500W version.  It's 20 less CDN.  Its also an exact adjustment.

  • Need to upgrade video/power supply for my HP can someone give advice?

    Here are my computer specs:

    Thank you

    Hi SilentOne,

    The Corsair CX500 is an excellent choice for a power supply. $50

    The aforementioned ATI HD3850 is insufficient to run your games.  I know because I have a HD4850 (a faster card) and replaced it with a NVIDIA GTX 460.  I have StarCraft 2, BF3 and cod.  These games all play very well on the bright and even some of the Ultra settings.

    This Sapphire 6850 is $ 135.

  • Upgrade power supply for dell Inspiron 530 (not slim)

    Yes, it's an old computer, but I want to upgrade the power supply for it. Watts, preferably something of 400 or more, but I can settle for 350w or 300w

    I have improved the power supply on an Inspiron 530 with an Antec 550 watt modular power supply with no problems.  Just be sure to buy a power supply of standard size, and you should have no problem.

  • Need new power supply for my HP p6210y

    Hello

    I have a HP p6210y (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01859864) and I need to upgrade the power supply for the Radeon HD 4890 I have now. I am reviewing the PSU below. However, the dimensions are actually smaller than my current diet. Who's going because of my problems in terms of ride it properly in the case?

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817338038

    If this will cause problems, can anyone suggest a power supply (it's the exact size as my current) which would be suitable for my graphics card. I need "500W with two connectors to power 75W 6-pin PCI Express.

    Thank you!

    I believe that the PSU is designed for a different style of the case. Discover the Corsair CX500, or CX600 power supplies. They are highly recommended and are favorite forum. In addition, they are only slightly larger than the stock power supply HP and are known to adapt.

  • The upgrade of the power supply for a HP Pavilion 500-054

    Hey people,

    I'm changing the 500-054 flag so that it can play a few games, not a hardcore gamer, just want to be able to play the occasional game. I want to get a lower end external video card, but this requires a power supply greater than 300. I am looking for a new power supply for my computer, but I couldn't find one for the 500-074. Are the ones that will work for my computer or I am a hopeless case?

    Thank you

    A standard ATX power supply will work. Please look at the Corsair CX430, CX500, CX600, or their variations of modular cables for your needs.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • I need power supply for HP Z220 CMT workstation up to 500 watt

    HI everyone I want to improve my diet is 400 watt, this does not work with my new graphics card, it's Asus GTX 770 Nvidia GeForce DirectCU II OC 2 GB GDDR5 he needs a minimum of 500 watts...
    Thank you very much for everything give me it please link or model power supply for hp workstation z220 up to 400 watt.

    Hello:

    Power supply in the z220 belong to someone, which means that you can not install any other food but the 400W provided by HP.

    You can also ask your question on the HP Business Support Forum - z section of jobs to see if anyone knows if one different PSU from another series of z that Workstation will work for your model.

    http://h30499.www3.HP.com/T5/workstations-z-series-XW-series/BD-p/BSC-272#.U5nJ2f1OXGg

    For example the z600 has a 650W power supply, but I have no idea if this P/S will work in the z220.

    Perhaps someone on this forum will have some alternatives for you, but don't get your hopes up.

  • Aurora-R4, seeking to upgrade power supply for a better quality of power supply that is not a brand of Dell?

    OK, I have a R4 Aurora, and in my view, that it comes with a power supply of 875 watt. Not 100% about this though. For now, I want to upgrade the power supply to a power supply, so it can support say double cards video in better quality SLI mode. The problem is that the PSU 875 does not have a rail system unique to 12 volts to 50 amps of power support to handle difficult loads of power and provide ample cooling in the power supply. What I would do in the future, it is out of the current PSU, I now and looking to buy a decent POWER supply unit elsewhere. Reference Dell sells a power supply higher than I can use existing wiring, or should I find another brand of PSU and seek to replace the power wiring? And how is it difficult to install if I have to use a different power supply with a different wiring? Installation instructions?

  • Power supply for Pavilion a6720f?

    Hello. Is power supply for an a6720f a standard ATX, or something exclusive? I need to know.

    Thank you.

    This is a standard size ATX PSU - 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "but confirm this by opening your PC and by measuring the PSU.  Go back to the bottom of all the cables coming from the PSU for the endpoints so that you know which links are necessary.
