HP PSU Help

[SSGM4DCOW]

i have an HP pc that I modded and can anybody tell me if their motherboard would accept another power supply i wanna upgrade so i can put in a new video card?

[andymushu]

so do you want to know if your motherboard can handle 2 power supplies? correct me if im wrong, im half sleeping and i didn't really understand your post.

no i just wanna know if i can switch out my power supply with another one with more watts

i tried calling HP and asking them but Ahab the arab wouldnt give me an answer unless i paid HP 40 dollars...

Power supplies are generally a standard mount with standard cables, so it's just a matter of pulling one out and putting another in.

Any reason for needing more power?

the PSU that came with this comp isnt strong enough to be able to run my lights fans and a newer vid card well


i just wanted to make sure that my crappy HP motherboard would accept a new power supply

My dad has an HP. Its a MicroATX PSU though. Just make sure you know if your motherboard is a 20 or 24 pin and if you have a micro or not. Also, his doesn't have this little 4 pin connector like mine does. I'm thinking thats for Pentium 4's, that or I'm blind and I couldn't see his.

If its a new computer, just about any power supply will do. Try Newegg.com

If its an old one like my dads, just make sure the one you want to buy is the same as your motherboards. like the 24 or 20 pin count.
