Power Supply update

I have an old PC on my network, the name of the product: HP Compaq 8000 Elite CMT PC, Windows 7 64-bit, Intel 2 duo E8400.  I was in charge of feeding, currently 300 watt Moose comes with the PC.

This day and age that a 300 watt covers just the Basic, not to mention that I also intend on upgrading the graphics card to a AMD Radeon HD 6670 from the Intel on board graphics chip.

So my question is will a CORSAIR CX series CX600 600 Watt be good.  When I started to test an on-site price said that phones could not manage this, which seemed strange.  He tried to sell me another brand, I've never heard of high and low priced 500 watts.  He said the motherboard was a custom HP and couldn't manage a universal power supply.

I checked the size and it will fit in the case, and to my knowledge, the motherboard has to handle 600 watts if she can be one of 500 watts.  Is there anything else I should look at?

A CX600 Corsair will work in this PC?

I'm not particularly intelligent or gifted. I'm just very, very curious.

Thanks for the comments, I looked at the Tech Specs. and the only rating on exceeding 320 watts was the note.  This got me wondering from a seller I price said almost the same thing, but he said that one of 500 watts would do the job.

So I pulled the covers and checked the motherboard, somehow it has not added HP with a motherboard in a machine oriented professional users.  Even at the time it would have been a killer knowing how business as improving and not to buy new equipment.  I scraped my fingers a little do, but find the serial number of motherboards and the manufacturer.  After a bit of searching, I find nothing say that the motherboard could not handle a higher load.

So I took a gamble and bought a watt Corsair CX500 (just in case the 600 watt was pushing it).  Installed without any problems, and so far all is going well, test gear shows power on the rails of the standard, so after a few tests more, I installed the graphics card.  So now, the system has a new power supply of 500 watts and a Radeon HD 6670 with 2g on the card in it and works very well.

So much for the manual tech, I think HP more at their maximum on POWER supply adapted to the times.  The reason why I wanted to replace the power supply was so it was thought I update at the same time.  Never like throwing of older equipment which still has plenty of life in it.  It has 12G of memory, and he now has with the new power SUPPLY and a graphics card more service time.

Thanks for your help.

    Thank you.

    I have an additive to add to this topic.

    To refresh, my questions focus on a possible shift of the power supply and card mother specs:

    What is an ATX 12 v 2.0 and above technical problem or a power CAP problem?

    I posted my questions on the Forum of power SUPPLY Corsair PSU

    at the same time and I paste it here now, a response

    to GUY of RAM.

    "Hey RAM GUY."

    Sorry I couldn't answer until now.

    Please specify the difference between the ATX 2.0 specification and 2.01

    Spec that the negative - 5 v Rail is not present in the 2.01 spec and

    beyond.  As I mentioned previously, the Thermaltake PSU that has been

    running in my 2009, HP i7 tour for 7 last month said 12 volt ATX 2.2

    on the case and even if the power supply HP OEM said 12 volt ATX

    2.0 in the technical literature, that I found on Google, the real PSU I have does not work

    have any note on the case ATX specification.  So I think it's safe to say, my

    motherboard does not have the negative Rail v-5 at which he played

    nicely with 12 volt ATX 2.2 spec, until recently.

    Although theoretically it is supposed to be no limit on the amount of

    Absorbed power, you can use to power your motherboard, the motherboard because

    is supposed to use only what suits him and cap the rest, it seems that the OEM

    can dial up limitations of power if they deem necessary.

    Could be as simple HP, without wanting to compete with some of his HPs

    Professional workstations, caps so power on some Pavilion Elite

    Series models to prevent them from becoming a much cheaper

    solution.

    In any case, I think that all the available information, digested, he does not speak

    Specification of the ATX, but rather my motherboard HP has a limit of 650 Watts of power

    If I think that I read that someone else got the same motherboard goes with

    750 watts, but I do not remember where to find this announcement. »

    I'm back and Yes!

  • Updated power supply with h8 - 1360t (after installing HD 9750 / 3 gb)

    I am the owner of a h8 - 1360t with Win 8.1, 8 GB of memory and a (new to me) Sapphire HD 9750 3 GB card video.

    I "think" my system has the 460W power supply - this is due to the strange re-boots that my system has when playing video games online (I.E. Citizen star, World of Tanks, BF4 etc..)

    It is not restarting all the time but it happens more often - (the only changes to the system is the video card - no problems before)

    I would ask the community to the grater if there are suggestions about what to search for PSU?

    According to the Tech Spec Page, I have the option of 300W 460W or 600W

    Can I go higher than 600W?

    What is a good diet to look for?

    I appreciate her help!

    Thank you

    Hello

    The CorsairCX500, or CX600 are excellent choices for your PC. You will have a lot of power for future growth.

    If you do not plan to replace the video card with a better card in the future the Corsair CX430would be a good choice.

    ' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.

    Consult this publication documentfor more information.

    You can watch the EVGA GTX 650.  The price of need, I can say is much cheaper and the performance of the card are the same.

  • Power supply and graphics card update

    Hello

    I own a HP p6610f desktop computer and want to upgrade my power supply and graphics card.

    Power supply:

    I saw recommended Corsair CX500 and I found a CX500M of Corsair for sale. I'm fairly certain that it will work with the graphics card, I'm considering the purchase. The CX500M would work with my device?

    Graphics card:

    I have need later in the technology of graphics card but I still want to improve my current AMD Radeon HD 4200. I plan an AMD Radeon HD 6570 because it meets my needs and fits my budget. Would this work with my p6610f and a PSU Corsair CX500M?

    If it helps, I want to update the graphics card to play some place the modern games (Assassin Creed Revelations and maybe Assassin Creed 3 on low heat) and possibly install a Blu - Ray player.

    I ask because I can't seem to find an answer clear enough to calm my fears to ruin my computer if I go with these two options.

    Thank you!

    Food: The CX500M of Corsair is a great choice and will definitely enter the computer.

    Graphics card: you can get a Radeon HD 6670 for the same price as a Radeon HD 6570 and on a faster card of 20 to 25%. Or a little more money, you can get a Radeon HD 6770 and about 125% faster. In all cases, measure from the rear of the case further along the PCIe x 16 location plan. Just shy of an obstacle comes as long of a card you want.

  • Update of firmware for r.620 750w power supply

    I'm under OME v2.0 and he pointed out that we need to apply a critical update to our power supply 750w on our servers r.620 (Power_Firmware_JX7PR_WIN64_09.2B.80_A00. (EXE)

    I installed the update on 2 of our r.620 servers and did not receive any errors.  After the update process is complete (and several reboots), it still shows the older firmware (v07.2B.80) is always installed.

    Curious to know if anyone has had this problem or updated their firmware to power supply.

    If you read the documentation on the 09.2B.80 update, it says:

    WARNING: after successful PSU FW updated on PSU PN: 5NF18 Version of FW on power supply must be 07.2B.80

    Before the update, my power supply has had the 07.2B.7D version and after the update, they have 07.2B.80. This means that they have in fact been updated. However, because the version of the package is 09.2B.80, things like OME will still say that they need to update because the version numbers do not match exactly. The most stupid thing ever and totally bored. All the time, I lost to try to get updated when he was already.

  • Power supply with updated graphics card update

    I am considering buying the HPE-150 t with an improved graphics card standard:

    1 GB ATI Radeon HD 5770 [2 DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA adapter]

    I went on http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us to the appropriate power needed for this gauge system, and it recommends a minimum 450 Watt power supply.

    If I ended up buying the HPE-150 t with updated graphics card, I get a power supply improved to compensate for the increase of energy consumption?


    Here are the specs of your motherboard.  It indicates a 350 Watt PSU.  However, if you scroll down to hardware options, you will see a 460 watt power supply associated with the 5770 video card.

  • R720 Power Supply firmware update

    Hello

    Have problems updating firmware for the block of power SUPPLY (AC) for the R720, tried to get him out of the lifecycle controller and by downloading and running the windows of Win2008 R2 package.

    After the installation in both cases, the server off, but does not wake up as advertisied (I waited all night). Without other options, I pressed the power button and the firmware has no upgrade.

    I also tried to plug in only 1 power supply with the same result

    Hi thanks for the messages

    The problem has disappered by itself, as I have tested earlier firmware has updated successfully (using the windows version)

    In the past, it stops after the #7 step. The lifecycle controller showed that it was upgrading firmware, like this:

    Subsequently, he stops and never woken up by itself. But this time he's awake to the top and be upgraded successfully

    I try to remember what I made after the last time, there is not, in the hope that someone will find it useful:

    1 making / removing network trunk (aggregation)

    2. change workgroup name, join a domain

    3. When you run the update, I used the administrator account of the domain instead of the local administrator account

    4 installed Kaspersky KSC

    All 4 is apparently not related to the update of the firmware, I also installed & removed openmanage essentials, but do not remember if it is before or after the failure of the last

    but since it is updated now, I'm happy

    Thanks for the help

  • Update of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-056

    I want to upgrade to a discrete graphics card, but the 300 watt PSU is not enough.  It is not one of the standard sizes such as ATX12V, EPS12V, SFX12V (small footprint), LFX12V (low profile form factor), or TFX12V (slim form factor).

    Does anyone know of a specific diet that can fit in my computer case?  Without my ability to be upgraded will be severely compromised.

    According to the specs of HP Pavilion 500-056 desktop PC product page, your computer uses a power SUPPLY ATX12V PSU which is 150 x 140 x 86 mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) in size. Please consider replacing it with a Corsair CX500, CX600, CX500M, or CX600M depending on your graphics card needs.
