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.

    @MacTheSteve, welcome to the forum.

    This is Service and Maintenance Guide for the workstation.

    I contacted StarTech to see if they would have an adapter 'Y' which had two 8-pin power connectors.  However, those that they should be the following on your motherboard or the power supply:

    StarTech Brandon: basically, there are 4 SATA power or LP4 molex.

    I believe that your diet is enough power, but simply do not have the required connectors.  At least, I don't the seen on the diagram of the motherboard.  It seems that you need to upgrade the PSU.

  • Upgrading power SUPPLY Compaq Presario SR1403WM block

    I know this is an old computer and everything, but I'm always wanting to do some updates for her because I'm not getting rid of it for a while.

    So I was wondering what would be a compatible power supply for this computer. I'm looking for at least a 350 watts so that I could run easily 3 hard drives, a dvd burner and a Radeon X 1300 XT.

    If you know if this card will work with the 250 that is in this computer with my other updates please tell so I don't have to worry about this.

    Since the computers original specifications I already changed to 3 320 WD HDD, 2 GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 9550, while also removing the modem 56 k the 9 in 1 card reader and the original hard drive, CD burner and stick of RAM.

    The 9550 is just a little weak for me and the x 1300 will be able to hit the sweet spot. That is why I wonder about upgrading the PSU or the card will work with the current.

    Anyway thanks for the help in advance.

    Ok. Good ATX PSU brand will do. (Corsair / OCZ / Fortron / shut up!) Your motherboard uses an ATX PSU specification. With what you already have in your system, you should get a decent at least 450 Watts and ATX12V 2.2 EPS12V, modular, 80 more specs. Care like these will allow you to use it in a motherboard upgrade when you are ready

  • Upgrading power supply on HP Elite 7500 to install radeon AMD 7850

    Hello

    I really hope that you can give me some advice.

    A friend has an HP Elite 7500 and just bought a Radeon 7850. I had a peek inside. I'm a little nervous with microtours so I just wanted to check a few things.

    The PSU needs to upgrade to at least 500w. A standard power supply is suitable?

    Is there anything else I should be aware of?

    I am nervous that it is some non-standard configuration and can not find a lot of useful info to help me get started.

    Thanks and best wishes

    CaptainOnions, welcome to the forum.

    Here is the Interview Guide & Service for the computer.  What I see in the diagrams, it emerges that the power supply unit (PSU) is standard.  The ATX connector on the motherboard is 24 pins.  However, I suggest to measure and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  They will provide clean and stable power to the system.  They are passionate about quality with a reasonable price.  I recommend at least 600W.  This will allow in the future for updates.  OCZ has done a very good modular power supply.  It is excellent for smaller cases.

    I suggest to measure the space for the video card, as well.  Allowing you to measure from the rear i/o ports to the opposite side of the computer.  Plan a boost for the power/s Connector required by the card.  The HD 7850 I have looked at has two 6-pin connectors.

    If you have any other questions, let me know.

  • Upgrading power supply on DC7900 SFF

    Hi, I want to know what options are available to upgrade the power supply on my DC7900 SFF to support a graph card Radeon R6570.  Block of current output 250W PSU but the graphics card needs minimum 400W.  Did someone awatre of a secondary market PSU with > 500W that can fit into the SFF case?  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You are the very welcome.

    Yes, this diet is the P/S standard for the dc7900 CMT.

    It will be, in any way, shape, fit into the dc7900 SFF.

    As I posted above, I do not know of any alternative feeds that will work in the SFF.

    Try the card as it is and see what happens.  What a guy says it works fine.

    I guess it depends on how much of a load you put on it and the other factors.

    Use this power supply calculator to help you determine if it is possible to use the 6570 in your machine.

  • 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 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

  • Upgrade power supply s5510f Pavilion

    I was wondering if there are any available for the Pavilion s5510f POWER supply upgrade.  He is currently leading an installed OEM 220 watt and I was looking to go to a 300 or 350 watts, if it does not fit in the case.  I know Compaq with he exact same narrated 5/6GL Board I have uses a 300 Watt.  I need to upgrade my graphics, like the nvidia 6150se just isn't cutting it.  I know that I can not any expansion on the power supply and 350 may be pushing; as I gave about tech HP apoplexy when I told him I wanted to switch the MOBO to a new case and go the one block of 450 Watt power SUPPLY.  He said that I have burn the Board upward.  I had never heard of the front, as same Pegatron shows the jury capable of using a 750 watt with her.  Hope you can help.

    Reaction of the tech was a little over the top. A motherboard follows the same laws of electronics that apply to all other electric/electric devices. A motherboard will draw only as much current as it needs a power supply. It consumed the jury unless there is a circuit on the motherboard or a device that a failed.and draws too much current.

    You may move it to a larger case. Slimline PC power supply upgrades have restraint of the size and configuration on them that standard PC speakers do not have.

  • 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:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. Warranty
    6. I7 and SLI ready
    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. 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.

    I would like to move power from 300w to 450 or 500 more. Don't know what power supply would be compatible for H-RS880-µATX motherboard.

    Kako571111, welcome to the forum.

    When a help request, you must always include the brand / model of the computer or the monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications for them.

    I sugest measuring the current power supply (PSU) and comparing them with the one you choose.  You can buy one that has a quantity of power.  However, I do recommend more than 600W.  The computer uses only the amount of power required to carry out.  A 600W unit will give you possible shared future updates.

    The new power supply is too small for the previous anchor for the power supply box. I can't even the two screw holes that align the two. That's pretty pathetic.

    Anyone know where I could find a compatible PSU that puts at least a 450W max? (for a new video card). I did some research and found nothing. Thought it was time to turn to the forums of HP.

    Well, there is always the possibility to buy directly from HP.  Of course, for a student who is a bit more expensive.  The next thing you might try is to walk in a bestbuy and asking them if they have anything in this size.  If it's not that they could tell you where to find a.  Try a store like tigerdirect, normally, they have a bunch of stuff at random and may have a small power supply in stock.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Kevin

    If you look at the blades of the fan in the power supply, you will see that it sucks air through the fan and pushes the air components of the PSU, then the vents next to the plug/socket and power switch. Place the power supply on the top of your computer case with power supply on the side fan draw the air out of the case will not blow hot air into the case.
