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.

  • 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.

  • Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

    I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

    Well, we meet again.

    While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

    This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Update of map chart/PSU (power supply) for Lenovo Thinkcentre A70-7844C1U

    Specifications of the computer:

    4 GB of DDR3 RAM (upgrading to 2 GB)

    Intel GMA X 4500 (integrated graphics)

    180-watt power supply

    I decided my computer needed some activities if I wanted to play some games like Minecraft and Team Fortress 2.

    I wanted to change my original graphics to something like a Nvidia Geforce GT 220 (minimum 300-watt power supply)

    But then, I realized that my computer power supply was less than the minimum requirement for the new graphics card.

    I was wondering if it was OK to always install a dedicated video card or if I needed to upgrade my diet as well.

    If I need to upgrade my power supply, what do you recommend for me? (budget: $ 100 - $200)

    Thanks, Vguys!


  • 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.

  • 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.

    It's a high-end desktop PC.  No doubt he will come with an ATX PSU with 5VDC, 12VDC and 3.3Vdc output rails.  I'm not familiar with the Interior of your PC, so I'll give you two General configurations of PSU layout.

    1. design intermediary such as PC Power & Cooling with one or two 80 mm fans to expel air through the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341011

    2 down-draft design as Cosair 450VX with a 120 mm or more huge blowing fan case in the heat sink and the motherboard of the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139003

    If the power supply is at the top, back or side of the PC, then a power supply down-project will do a better job to remove heat from the PC.  If the power supply is in the middle of the PC, then go with an intermediate design.  This design will generate more noise at higher load, since the smallest fan should turn more quickly to transport the same amount of air in a 150 mm or 120 mm fan.

    Looking for a nominal 80% efficiency POWER supply.  Detachable power cable is a bonus to maximize the air flow inside the PC.  Make sure the power supply is delivered with the right type of power connector to drive you GPU.  All modern units of quality with 20 + 4 and 4 + 4 key cards.  If you do not plan to run graphic dual with a high range GPU, so it doesn't matter what quality 80 watter 380 power SUPPLY Antec, Corsair, Enermax and Seasonic PSU will be enough.  You will need to back up POWER supply to 450-550W, if you run two graphics cards high-end.

    A good 450W PSU is a good compromise because it is more effective when the PC is idle and has enough power to run two GPUS.  If you want to save $ on electricity, then get a smaller power supply (range 300-350W) because these units reach the level of efficiency of 80% around release of 65 to 70 watts.

  • 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?

  • 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.
