The upgrade of stock of power supply and GPU [A6325.UK HP Desktop]
Hi all
I'm looking to upgrade an aging ( a6325.uk) HP desktop to make it more efficient with the task of casual games. Games that will run on the machine are not too intensive (half-life 2, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3) still could benefit from a more powerful GPU I think. As part of this upgrade, I know that I need to upgrade the PSU. Are there specific things I should look for when buying a new stream of a higher power? The majority of the components should work with the mini-ATX case design?
I don't mean to draw too much power and have considered:
or
In addition to bumping the PSU, a new graphics card is in order. Space in the case is a bit limited (this is the kind of decisive and I will need to recheck my dimensions) and I've been contemplating between:
or
I have not updated the RAM (3 GB) in the machine or the CPU (C2D E4500). Here are the areas that I have will consider in the future. Operating systems, I use generally are Windows Vista and Ubuntu 12.04 first being upgraded to Windows 8 shortly.
Are the items that I plan compatible with this model and reasonable a choice? All of the other suggestions and welcome advice.
Ic437,
I have the same card, it should look like the picture.
Photo taken at the initial installation. Wiring was routed and wire-tied to facilitate air circulation.
If you decide on the Asus 550Ti, also bought the Corsair 500W. It's the same demensions as seen above Rosewill 630.

HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1300 t CTO - replacement of power SUPPLY and GPU
Hi all
I bought my PC a couple of years ago and have been wanting to upgrade a little to the height.
I'm looking to replace my Radeon HD 7770 and 600W PSU which is included in the PC with the following parts:
Video card R9 sapphire Radeon 290 Tri - X 4 GB video card $379.99 @ Newegg
Power supply EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80 + Gold Certified fully modular ATX power $59.99 @ Newegg
What I need-
Is there a guide to remove/replace these parts with this particular PC/case? Even the guide, I would like to know if it's important what part is replaced first.
Shwop, welcome to the forum.
This is the section addition / replacement the computer. It has a guide for all components that you want to add or replace. including video card and PSU.
The video card that you have chosen is not appropriate in the space provided. You should go to the manufacturer's Web site to get the length. You can make a model of the size of the card to see if it will fit. Add at least an inch if the card has some additional power connectors.
The power supply (PSU) should fit without any problem. The computher uses a standard ATX PSU. You can measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose. Personally, I like Corsair PSU. They are a little more expensive, but are amateur quality. It will give you a good clean and stable power to operate the system.

Hi guys
I have a HP-Pavilion VD012AA-ABU m9753uk with OS windows 7 ulitmate and I want to upgrade my graphics card to a Nvidia GTX 560Ti and I was wondering if this card would hold on my motherboard. I know that the motherboard has a PCI Express x 16 slot and be ok 1, but I don't know that I need to look at, I know there are several variants such as ATX and others because I have only a 300 watt power supply, I need to spend at least a power of 500 watts power however im don't know what connectors my computer has to power supply and what kind you provide and also is here a chance to overcharge me my other components such as my processor or CPU due to the increase in power as I currently have a graphics card Nvidia GT 220 installed if that helps at all
Here are the specs for my graphics card (http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications)

Hello
Consult this publication document for more information. Open your PC and measurement. The NVIDIA 560 TI type is 9 "long.
I don't see a problem with the NVIDIA TI 560 and the m9753uk.
You will need a power of 500 watts. The Corsair CX500 is an excellent choice.

I want to replace the power supply and graphics card in my p6550z
Hello
I'm looking to replace my power supply (BESTEC 300 watts) and the graphics card (ati radeon hd 5450). Here is a link to the HP page with my pc: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4242359&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
The card I want to put is an Amd Radeon HD 6870. And I also want to put in a block of power SUPPLY Corsair 550 Watt.
They will work when I install them? (I'm actually a little nervous about the upgrade my power supply and graphics card since it is the first time I'm doing this) (I'm also nervous because I've heard many horror stories about upgrading an HP computer)
Hello
There is a small metal tab inside (guts) on some models of PC HP adds stability to food. You'll have to push the tab down to get food out. The link below will show this tab.
How to replace a power supply.
Corsair power supply (psu) I used can be mounted with the fan facing upwards or downwards depending on where fresh air is available from. Some PC cabinets have mesh ventilation where the PSU Monte so the fan should face the ventilation mesh so that fresh air can be brought into the power supply and then exhausted at the rear. Some HP computers have slots to air ventilation through the upper edges of the flanks and in this case, the PSU is mounted to the top fan. Otherwise, the Assembly of the fan should be such that the PSU will draw air from inside the Cabinet.

HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210y - upgrade power supply and graphics card?
You just bought a new computer that I am generally satisfied, but it is not fit to play top games I like (for example Metro 2033). I was looking into upgrading my graphics card and discovered that I have a 300W power supply.
I heard that HP computers are notorious for difficulties in upgrading equipment thanks to the compact design the area. What power supply and graphics card I should be able to use? Information links and price would be very appreciated.
I use my LG HDTV 32 "as a monitor and my current graphics card allows me to connect using an HDMI cable and play movies blu - ray via my PC. I want to keep this feature.
Thanks for any help!
You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:
- Specifications
- Total power - important
- amperage 12 + v - important
- Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
- Warranty
- I7 and SLI ready
- Efficiency rating
- Cost
- The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...
The amount of amperage + 12 volts is important when choosing a video card. Depending on the size of the Cabinet from HP a 550-600 watt PSU should be plenty. The NVIDIA GT 460 should be a good choice.

HP ENVY 700-527c: upgrading of power supply and graphics card, need help
You just bought a NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - silver/black for my HP ENVY, but the food I have in my computer does not support this graphics card. So I was wondering if I bought the Black Corsair - CX series modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply - if it could fit in my computer and function properly with the graphics card and all the rest of the computer.
Almost thought you made a mistake, but you do not have BIOS rev 8 because this unit originally comes with WIN 8. The GTX 970 attracts only 145W. Corsair CX750M is3.39"x 5.91"x 6.30". It is profoundly in your case, without connectors. You have so much room between the existing power supply and connectors for DVD? NVidia recommends a 500W, I would say the 600W modular version. Its depth is 5.51 ".

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.
Kind regards

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.
Please send BRAVO

New power supply and logic board?
I need to get a new power supply and the logic board put in my iMac - when I did, this is my iMac will be indented from the base/settings (i.e. will I need to put everything on my external hard drive to backup) or will all my personal data / records/work etc., always be on it?
All your data, applications, and settings are on the hard drive, if that is not replaced everything will be as it was. That said, you should always have a backup before you take your mac at home.

MSE8000 power supply and current calculation
Hello
Understand that there is a calculator tool to determine the power needed for your MSE 8000 chassis and blades. The results of the calculator are running continuous and current.
How to determine the power and the current requirement in KT? Struggling to understand and enter the values for the effectiveness of rectifier.
Thank you
Best regards
TF
Without the guarantee that this info is safe:
I assume you are using:
I think that Valere Power supplies have a return about 90% as the value of the example.
Suppose that several computer power supplies inefficiant down to 70%, this is what the power
supply consumes for himself (in other words to warm the room :-)
BTW, the amount of rectifier modules is what you need to start it, but to be redundant
you have the double amount, in the example below, it shows 2, but it should be 2 x 2, two for each grid.
So with 1 x 8050 and 4 x 8510 and 90% you will get something like:
The calculator results
The results are the following (values are rounded):
Requirements Value Power (Watts) CC 1800
Continuous current (AMPS) 38
Number of rectifiers of Valère 2
Results of the calculator for current alternative
Power supply and current results using the value of rectifier that you entered above, are the following:
Requirements Value Power (Watts) 2000
240v PSU current (AMPS) 9
Current (AMPS) P.S.U. 110V 19

Original title: Windows 7
I have 2 questions-
I have a laptop Windows 7 when I tried to update Windows 10 received a message that it could not be updated. Has there never been a solution or an update for those of us who have a version of Windows 7 which initially could not updated for Windows 10?
I have a computer I upgraded Windows 10 and really like it. I do not understand that I can not make a copy of 10 Windows on a computer, I've updated for Windows 10. Is it possible for me to download a copy of Windows 10 on my laptop Windows 7 to make a restore CD in the case of a computer problem?
You can try the upgrade manually:

- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.

Pavilion 6540y: the upgrading of power supply and graphics card
I need to update my graphics card. What is the best inexpensive card graphics and power supply to buy for my HP Pavilion 6540 Y. I use it mainly for work and graphic design. Currently, the stock video card doesn't have enough memory to effectively run Photoshop and painter with three monitors. Photoshop's request at least 512 M of memory for what I do, but I'd like to at least 1 GB. Sometimes I will have Photoshop and painter running at the same time.
Hello
I love the Corsair CX500 or the 520w Seasonic because they adapt to the physical dimensions for your PC.
Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.
