Power Supply compatibility question

Hello!

Tomorrow, my new Dell XPS 8700 arrived. I opted for the internal model with 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB HD, Intel i7 4790.

In the meantime, I ordered a few updates - specifically a 128 GB mSATA drive, an extra 1 TB internal HD and a Gigabyte GTX 960 overclockee edition.

Currently, I have concerns that the stock power supply may not be up to the task - and am shopping around just in case. I met one at an incredible price, and have two questions for anyone here with experience in this field:

(1) Will Dell installed standard power supply handle additions above?

(2) if not, is compatible with the machine down and architecture Haswell?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Welcome to the club of 8700 XPS!

XPS 8700 OEM power will be well with a GTX 960.  No reason to spend, even if you add the mSATA and an additional HARD drive or two.

The mSATA reader will probably less than 5 extra watts, and the HDD is maybe 10 watts max.

And, insofar as this power supply, it seems that it is done by abderrazak, and is not a manufacturer that I heard a lot about.

I stick to Seasonic, some of the highest in Corsair or Silverstone, and their research before investing.

  • Power supply upgrade Question

    Hi all

    This isn't a typical question. I read in all directions for an answer with nothing doesn't. I have HP Pavilion A1560n, which comes with a power of 300W. As most of you know, HP uses ATX power supplies and so for me to original power level, I need to know if the upgrade of power must be for the rail voltage 12V or 5V voltage rail. You're probably wondering the reason for the upgrade, and it's because I have a lot more hard and readers of DVD RW that I need to use this system. Think of this system as a station of mini Server (admittedly not the best system for this) If you want.

    With hard drives, one might think that the new power supply should have a higher on the 12V rail power. One could argue that the ATX V2.3 is also a good choice here because it has more than one 12V rail and retro-compatible with ATX. However, the fact that 2 different HP technicians mentioned that I need to upgrade is the power rail 5V me puzzled. A third technician just told me I need more power from 12V every power that I have met has more power on the 12V rail, except for the couple who had the same amount of power of 12V as my original power supply and many more the 5V power and the 3.3V rail.

    Could you please refer me to any documentation that could enlighten us in what route to go? Should I get an ATX upgrade that would increase the power on the 5V and 3.3V rails or V2.x ATX which will increase the power on the 12V rail.

    Thank you

    Won't you Dear?  How about $ 45 for a Fortron 600W with 80 + cert?  $ 35 yesterday with a $10 OFF coupon.  This unit is 580W for 12V output rate.  No need to worry about the modern 3.3 and 5V rails with PC since the maximum load will be less than 100W.  This device does not have no problem of transverse load... which means that the system can take as little as a few watts on 3.3 and 5 v rails and still be able to get close to 600 w total power.  You can buy the adapter to convert SATA connector Molex, or vice versa if you have plenty of HARD drive.

    This power supply has three independent 12V rails, each rated up to 18A.  Say staying us cautious and rates from the coast to 16A by rail, one call always load to the top of each tubular structure with eight drives.  The processor and the motherboard to sit on the other 12V rail and you can put a high range GPU and a few additional hard disks on the 3rd rail.

    The HP tech skill level can vary considerably.  Great people work cheap, so if you want good advice, then you should put these questions to the hardware enthusiast forum.

    Let's take a specific example for illustration.  I have a WD 1 TB green drive on my test bench.  The label says A 0.70 @ 5VDC (3.5W) and A 0.55 @ 12VDC (6.6W).  Eight hard drives would put on 28W load on the charge of rail and 5V on the 12V rail 53W.  Double this amount if you want a sturdy margin of safety.

    Your PC will probably rely on 180W peak due to the older Intel CPU.  I doubt that you will have no problem to start six drives on the PC with the stock power supply.

  • 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.

  • Equium A60 power supply insulation question

    My laptop recently failed a PAT to trial because of the continuity of the Earth. For background, it's a laptop bought UK but I am running an advance Australian 3-pin into the power adapter as I am in Australia.

    I saw somewhere on here that standard satellite UK does not connect through the Earth and I wonder if someone can confirm the preference for an official title, because I believe that this is the cause of the problem, but it doesn't seem to be, for example, a symbol 'double insulation' on diet, nor the manual referred to - the laptop works very well and I have no reason to suspect the power supply are faulty.

    So wonder if it actually has a pin plug 2 (UK power points need the same if taken earth it is not connected, Australian points are not).
    I really need to resolve this issue I need to use my laptop on the site, but can't until he gets that agreement and I do not want to get a new (OEM) power when I do not think the existing one is broken, so I need something to test guys and show them that it is a normal behavior...

    Of course, if this isn't normal behavior, I would be better to know now!

    Thank you

    I Don t think that the power supply is broken, and it doesn't really matter what the wall of the AC cable is connected from the regulated AC adapter voltage by itself and has it s own ground.

    Maybe the PAT test fails, but food is not broken.

  • 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.

    Kind regards.

    is the power supply for a 309 all in a compatible only with a 410 all in one. I lost original power for my 309 and have access to a power source for a 410 all in one.

    I just checked my c309a diet it's part number 0957-2259.  If your part number is the same, it will work.  If a number of different part check the voltage and the output current below the part number, mine is + 32V 1500mA.

    I have a C870 - 11G.

    It uses power adapter part no PA3917U-1ACA, who recently became damaged when someone tripping over the cable and it bends the end that connects to the laptop.

    I used to have a Toshiba C660D-10W a few years ago and the power for this laptop adapter you still, even part no PA3714E-1AC3,.

    Does anyone know if this is compatible with my C870?
    It seems to fit but I wanted to try it incase it damage the battery or something.

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    On the first picture you can see the values:

  • 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

    JCOOPER2

    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.

  • Questions about the replacement of a power supply for a P7-1235

    I decided to do an update on my Pavilion P7-1235. I put in a graphics card and put in power level. After doing some research on this forum and others I know well enough that I need. The only question I have is about the food. I don't know what the original power supply. There is a vent on the side where it however. So I guess that there is a fan on this side of the power supply. This eating plan I get:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139050 & TPK = % 20500% 20% 20modular %2 watt Corsair...

    I noticed that the fan is on top? Now there is no high ventilation in my P7-1235, I worry for nothing? I think that all the supplys to look the same. What is the top of the fan page for? Or can anyone suggest a replacement perfect for my exact Pavilion model?

    Sorry if the questions are stupid, but I'm still learning and want to do what I can myself!

    Hello

    Yes, you can use the power supply the same way. The image is in a vertical position for the convience of the buyer. I have the same with number of power supplies and it was fine. You can check the following links people have set up exact POWER supply in different ways.

    http://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/Corsair-power-supply-cx500m

    However, please be aware of your power supply size and your case. If you have all materials/components in stock for your computer, then it is what it is;

    ATX case:

    : Height 39.4 (15.55 inches)

    Width: 17.5 cm (6.89 in)

    Depth: 40.9 cm (16,14 inches)

    PSU stock:

    (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches)

    And the power supply you want;

    Corsair size;

    "5.9"x 3.4"x 6.3"

    As you can see the length of the Corsair is considerably larger than your stock of power supply. This could hampor of air or could even make it so the holes of the PSU and the case does not match. However, this is usually not what worry. The height and width that should be worried because the length rarely causes problems, I wanted to just make sure that you knew in advance.

    Take advantage of your power supply; Corsair is a great brand.

  • Power supply N6700B Low Profile pilot backward compatibility

    Hello

    I've recently updated the instrument for the Agilent N6700B Low Profile Power Supply drivers on my system. I run LabView 8.2.1. For some reason, the new LabView VIs have all their VISA Instrument inputs and outputs incompatible with my previous thread and definitions of port at the top level VI. We don't know yet what exactly is different, but I need to remove the wire and the port at the top level VI and re-create it. Do this for all my screws where this driver is used is very tedious...  Is this really a compatibility problem, and this is known?  No work around available?

    Unfortunately, I do not know what was the previous version of the driver N6700 overall.

    One thing I noticed and found strange: on a separate system where the pilot works fine (which I assume is the old driver), the pilot of VI property indicates the revision number is 104. On the newly updated system, the same driver VI property indicates that the revision number is 16. Does this mean my update failed?

    Thank you

    Benoit

    It was the source of the problem. I reinstalled the VISA type instead, and not everything works perfectly.

    Thank you!

  • UCS C200 Server Power Supply Question

  • HP h8m question. Graphics card and power supply.

    Hi, I am planning to buy a HP h8m series. I just want to know if it is possible to update the graphics card (by default it is an AMD Radeon HD 6450) to an AMD Radeon 6950. For what I searched there are 2 drawbacks. First is the power supply. Default power, the computer has, I think that it's 300W and the graphic card requires 500W. So my first question is, this computer would be able to manage the change of power supply? The second question that I have, I read on the Internet that this graphics card is physically large in size, so, this computer can fit this graphics card? If there is no response, please can you me better graphics card, it can adapt without worrying about food? I think it can be great information to say that I'm looking animation 3D with this computer so I think I need a good graphics card. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pablo

    Look over thisNVIDIA GTX 57. It has 2 GB of memory, which will help to 3D.  This card is longer and must adapt. You will need a bigger PSU such as recommended by OG.  A Corsair CX600 is a good choice
