• 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.

  Bravo for Erico 1,000,000,000. Great post. Debunks many myths and the hearsay rule.

• video card (recommended 300 watts) with the power supply only of 280 watts max.

  What are the risks of having a video card which recommends 300 watts connected to a computer that has only 280 watts? The only risk I know is maybe crashing, freezing and restarting the computer. It will damage also any hardware in the computer?

  Yes, you may damage other components as well as the video card. It is quite inexpensive and easy enough to replace a power supply with a new supporting material you want to run. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• ASUS IPMTB-TK Pegatron card mother watt minimum / maximum specifications for the new power supply

  I need to get some update a new GPU card will need a bigger PSU but can't seem to find the specifications of power to my motherboard. I know that connections in the search of what power this motherboard is rated for.  Help, please! and thank you Asus Pegatron IPMTB-TK Intel x 58 Socket 1366 mATX

  Hello

  You should be able to use a power supply up to 650 watts.  I've seen a few posts on this forum where more than 650 Watt power supply would not work.  I have successfully used a Corsair HX650 with the same motherboard.

  You have some good recommendations for old_geekster and wb2001.

• Pavilion a1540n Power Supply Upgrade

  I'm looking to upgrade my power supply (400w or greater) so that I can put in a new video card.  Known there for a replacement PS sources?  How easy is it TSE replace one of them?

  It's easy... Here is an article from HP technical support on a case that is very similar to yours:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01358091

  Basically,.

  Turn off the power and remove the side panel.

  Follow the wires of the power supply where they connect and lable them so that you know where they go - draw an image on paper to help remember you.

  Unplug the power inside the PC cables.

  Unscrew the 4 screws at the rear that hold the power supply to the case.

  Replace with a good ATX power supply. I would put in a power supply rated at 50 Watts higher than the required mark for the fancy video card you're shoving in you can even take the old power supply with you (if you buy in a store of the local computer). This way you can make sure all connectors that have used match and you will have enough connectors to all of your components.

  Insert the PSU and screw it with the 4 screws.

  Connect the cables, replace the side panel you and plug the power supply cord.

  Enjoy.

• What graphics card work on a p7-1026 Pavilion without a power supply upgrade?

  I just bought a Pavilion p7-1026. This is my first of all the computer set purchase because I always had my made-to-order systems. The CPU and the size of the hard drive and the plug is quite good for the price (I was looking for a cheap replacement for an old office) but I would like to make a few other updates. I'll add another 8 GB of memory, but I would also add a graphics card because I don't like the built-in graphics card.

  Is there a graphics affordable (about $100) with a minimum of 256 MB of memory, which runs on the power supply 250 watt existing and with no electrical connection needed? I watched some, but I've seen as low as 300 watts. If I need to replace the power supply, how can I find a compatible with this system. I looked at a site ('911' something) that has had a lot of listed HP models but not this one.

  Jay,

  Beyond that, you walk down this road, you really need to open the case.

  It only has 4 slots for memory and probably (2) 2 GB and (2) sticks of 1 GB of DD3-1333 PC3-10600.

  Your will does not add anything, you need to replace all with 4 GB sticks (4) If your planning an upgrade.

  New models are hard to return. You'll need to find the power supply model # for all references.

  BTW, this characterization of 250W is mounted. The (constant) nominal value is most likely 200W.

• Please help me with the video card and power supply issues!

  Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I'll try and do a short explanation, but I can't promise anything. I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games. In any case, I bought about 300.00 worth of new video games and none of them works. they say because of my video card. Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

  Oh and in case you want some specs on my system here are a few

  Hi chefinomaha,

  Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

  I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

  The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

  Here's your motherboard page.

  Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

  Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.

• Upgrading power supply

  I recently bought a new video card and when I installed it, I got nothing but a screen empty. I was told that I may need to upgrade from my diet. I have a Compaq presario 6000 model 6ZPXE2 and it has a 220 watt power supply inside. I don't know what my card needs power is a NVida GForce 512 MB AGP and I was wondering if I can upgrade and what information and precautions I need to know. Is it possible to upgrade up to 300. 350 or 400 watts?

  Hello spunnie, I checked the specifications of your video Nvidia GeFrorce 512 MB AGP 6600GT card.

  It shows that it takes a 300W power supply minimum system for this video card.

  This lack of power supply of power can indeed be the reason that the system shows no video, but it could also be that the card itself could be faulty. I bought many items off of eBay that have delivered to me and prove to be defective.

  To be honest, I also received many items in good condition as shown.

  I would say at least a power of 400 watts, many being somewhat underated power supplys.

  You can search for a power supply with the 400 watt or capacity so that physically gets in your case.

  You may need to cut the existing power, at least enough to get some measures in this regard, without disconnecting the cables if you can.

  With all these devices installed on your system, now I'm really surprised, that it would not even start with the current power of 220 watts. You are just as, or even above the maximum of the existing 220 watt PSU.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Power supply to the Pavilion HPE 410y?

  Hello my fellow forum members! : I would like to know if I can take the PSU & replace it with any power supply as a 750 - 1kW model or am I limited to the model 300w HP sells? just in case where he either died or I want to get a better video card.

  I would be very appreciated

  Thank you

  spacechild

  Hi spacechild,

  Be careful with a PSU over 650 watts.  There were messages on this forum where large power supply has failed.

  I don't know why you need a power supply that is 750 watts or more, but the Corsair HX 650 could you fit a need.

• Upgrade HP Pavilion Elite 420it - Radeon HD5770 OK with HP 460W POWER supply?

  I have a HP Paviillion Elite 420it (Core i5 750-6 GB DDR3 RAM - Radeon HD5570 - 460W PSU)

  I think to change the graphics card, mi it is:

  If buying a graphics card AMD Radeon HD5770 1 GB, my pc HP POWER supply can manage consumption Watt?

  The HD5570 2 GB standard in my HP pc standard was low, so I ask that.

  Should we change the PSU, or 460W standard handle for you the new card?

  P. s.

  I don't have a device that uses energy, only the USB mouse & keyboard.

  I'm waiting for the answer before buying the HD5770

  Thank you!

  I bouth the CUCORE of ASUS HD5770, but I felt unsafe to use the HP PSU, so I took the GS600W CORSAIR.

  Power supply and video card fit perfectly in the case, so all is OK now with my pc HP upgrade

• 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.

• replace 300 watt POWER of ML330 G3 unit with power supply 600wattage is this possible?

  Hi guys,.

  If I could replace 300 watt POWER of ML330 G3 unit with power supply 600wattage is this possible? Is this possible? Please notify

  Hi Big_Dave

  Thank you for your continued support...

  Now, I replaced the in situ 300 watt power supply provided with the HP ML330 G3 with 750 watt Corsair and well. No smoke or fire smelly so that chips and salmon "I am preparing for dinner.

  Regarding your question, Yes, the size of floppy Bay is the same size as that of rpm scsi 10 k 80pin. drive it is a 80-68 pin code converter that plugs nicely into the internal water of 68 pin male. Corsair 750w PSU comes with connectors 8 x 12v morlex, these can be connected to the connectors extra 12v adapter needed to put these converters to 68pin 80 - scsi

  Daisy chaining scsi disk is easy, the two external channels can be used to connect to the scsi drive more in an another case unithaving / chasy a total of 28 scsi disk Garland.

  Everything is settled now, my only question now is to do with knowing how to configure RAID correctly and this constant warning about Battery Backed Write cache messages' on the smart card array 6400 however I'ld who post on another section of this forum. This can now be closed according to the original question with replacement of the power supply to a power greater.

• Aurora r5 stock heatsync voltage problems with evga modular 750 watt power supply

  The stock fan on the heat sink thermal condition of the R5 Aurora stock runs just as fast as it can while holding a 6700 k, you mind, at a steady temperature around 30 C idle. Previous the cpu and psu were almost silent, whereas now the fan seems to run to rpm max powered an EVGA 750 watt p2 modular power unit cpu1 slot. How can I reach the bios to lower the fan speed?

  Yet, I am not "awake" not until the Caffè Verona + mix roast French kick. I do not have the model of your computer, but your service PDF manual available for download on the R5 Dell.com support page lists the Bios options, lists the right place to connect the fan to & lists the keyboard button to push to enter the Menu of the Bios. At a time like this, I could put back the original power supply in there, confirm the fan installs, if so, replace the new power supply in, see if again deploys spazzes

  but I don't think it's the power supply

  If your bios menu has no control of the fan speed, a swap of psu se do not spin faster or slower radiator fan. If you have ordered the 6700 k to the Fund, you would have power 850w. If you have installed the 6700 k yourself, using pneumatic radiator, it is possible the 95 watt cpu needs best, as the cooling liquid cooling. I see you're at 30 c idle, but it seems that the fan is bad fan... header check than 1st, see options in photo here: Alienware Aurora R5 - fan CPU 100%

  • Edit: @Hockeytown messaged me: "I eventually replaced the H80i Corsair GT for a 550LC Asetek ebay OEM pump. "This has solved my problem of fan and I am now able to connect via the (Top_fan + Pump_fan) factory setting and not errors.
  • @Hotarri installed Corsair H60

  It is possible, the motherboard as expected 'react' different when deleting in the 6700 k; It is possible that since 6700 k factory liquid cooled, the spazzes motherboard when the owner puts 6700 k themselves but without cooling liquid, such as a small problem, uses one table different fan / or a set of parameters of the fan speed (6700 k + pneumatic radiator = incompatibility) that hopefully you can change in the Bios somehow somewhere but maybe not

  It is possible that you can hand-place 3rd fan header 'pump', trying to fool the mother board, lol, see if the cpu fan slows down as a test. Still, I do not have this model, I think that the motherboard that waits for a signal fan/tachometer on the header of the pump in response to 6700 k, good luck with it

  post a photo of your swap 750 for us when you get it figured out (=

• How to use the Camileo H30 with Power Supply

  Hello

  First: Excuse my English, im from Germany ;)

  I have a Camilio: 30. its has been purchased used. I've only had the camera & the original battery.
  No supplements (such as usb or power supply cable original)

  what I want: I need to shoot for a few hours. The battery is unable to do. so I want to use it with a block of power, but when I put in (throughh a mini-usb connector) of the camcorder goes into charing (no actions are possible), but I want to make full use of the feature when the power is connected.
  How should I treat it?

  I got an a 2, 25 a 5V power supply, I think its enough... or not?
  The label on the side of the camcorder bottum said 5V 2A...

  Thanks 4 help me :D

  Greetz

  Hello

  If the Camileo H30 and I got this camcorder with battery and adapter supporting USB mini jack.
  The s AC adapter camcorder supports the release of 2A and 5V
  Its model DSA-10 p-05

  Google for this model, maybe you could get one from some dealers online
  Otherwise recommend that you check the other adapters supporting these values.

  For example this one:
