A question regards to power supply to my b520

i bought my lenovo b520 in the usa(110volts) and brought it to israel(220volts).
on the back of the screen it is written  100-127/200-240.
does it mean that inside the computer there is a transformator between 110 to 220,and i just need to get the right plug?
OR, that i have to purchase a transformtor?
thank you

I would expect it to be universal volage too, but found this in the Lenovo IdeaCentre B5 Safety and Warranty Guide V4.1:
Voltage-selection switch
Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the
power-cord connection point on the computer. If your computer has a voltageselection
switch, ensure that you set the switch to match the voltage available at
your electrical outlet. Setting the voltage-selection switch incorrectly can cause
permanent damage to the computer.
If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, your computer is
designed to operate only at the voltage provided in the country or region where the
computer was originally purchased.
Unless the power supply legend actually says 100-240v or a document that came with the machine says it's OK, I'd not plug it in to 220V power.

  • Question regarding Antec Power Trio 550 and GSkill PC8500 RAM on P7N Diamond

    Good Afternoon,
    I recently built a new machine using the P7N Diamond System Board. Here are the current Specs
    Intel Q6600 Processor
    G.Skill 2 GB PC8500 RAM PK Series
    Seagate Barracudda SATAII HDD
    GeForce 9600 GT OC 512M (BFG TECH)
    Antec Power Trio 550 PSU
    I have 2 questions, I configured the RAM in my bios to run at 1066 with manual timings that the manufacturer gave as CL5-5-5-15 and while it is runs at 1066 I'm only getting a Vista Rating of 5.0 for the ram while everything else is at 5.9. If anyone is running G.Skill RAM on this board and have gotten better numbers please share with me what you did to achieve it.
    Second Question, I noticed there was no dedicated power supply fan connector on this MB, in order to take advantage of the Antec Smart Fan technology do I need to plug this fan connector into a specific system fan connector port on the Motherboard??
    Thanks in Advance

    Ignore the Vista rating, it is not accurate to beging with.  Run a memory performance test with some benchmark tool and compare the numbers there.

  • Qosmio notebook question about mains power supply

    HELLO GUYS
    I just wanted to know if a buy a Qosmio from the America or other countries in europe will they play on UK mains power supply. I saw one on ebay that said it had an auto sensing power supply which will work anywhere. But i wasn't sure if i should believe this.
    Thanks in advance

    hi Navdeep,
    Most modern AC adapters work on a voltage range of 100-240 volts so they can be used virtually world wide. This obviously saves the cost of producing specific adapters for different countries or regions.
    Just check the specifications for the Qosmio in the country where you plan to purchase it.
    regards,

  • Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems, Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems, Ask your question.MC508LL/A power supply problems

    I have just replaced my older IMac with a new one because of a cronic power supply problem.  Now I see this one is doing the same thing.  Is anyone else having the same issues with their MC508LL/A.

    I'm with babowa there ... I would suspect the power souce, not the PSU. Where you live could be an issue depending on how reliable and 'clean' the electricity is to your home. If that is ok then it could be the wiring in your house ... if it were mine, I'd need an electrician to check it out.
    Personally, I've had computers hooked to my electric service since 1995 and no UPS (despite recommendations) and never encountered a problem with the computers ... many electrical issues (brown outs, outages, etc), just been fortunate they didn't affect my machines.

  • 600 watt power supply questions and video card upgrade questions

    I am looking to upgrade to a Xfx Radeon 7970 Double D graphics card but i was wondering if the HP 600w psu that came with my Hp Envy Phoenix H9-1350 has a 8 pin and 6 pin Pci-e connector because that is what the Radeon 7970 needs. Also I am wondering if it will fit into the Hp Envy Phoenix H9-1350 because the case seems small but the card is only 9.3" long. I currently have an Amd Radeon 7670 but I think it is time for an upgrade but I am just not sure if the power supply has the correct power connections needed for the Radeon 7970.
    This is the card I am looking to get:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+ENVY+Phoenix+Desk​top+-+12GB+Memory+-+2TB+Hard+Drive/6890832.p?id=12​...

    I understand you want to know if the power supply will have the necessary connectors for the desired video card.
    According to the specifications, it lists the case as a mini-tower which is on the small side.  You may need to use a tape measure to find out exactly how much room the system has in regards to length.  It has become much better, but other components (such as the HDD) were at the end of the PCIe slot limiting the length of a video card.  Sorry I couldn't provide anything more specific.  The manuals are somewhat vague as far as the internal dimensions and I don't have access to one to verify the dimensions.  
    Ordinarily, I can find more information regarding the power supply not that seems not to be the case here.  According to this thread, the PSU has two 6 pin PCIe connectors.  You would need something like this to convert one of the 6pin connectors to 8pin.  As long as the PSU is capable of pushing enough watts, it shouldn't be an issue.  The card needs up to a 500W power supply, so the 600W power supply should be just enough to cover it.

  • HP Pavilion s5-1224 (Windows 7 64-bit) power supply problem

    Can 550W SATA Power Supply work/ fit my hp pavilion model: s5-1224?
    link:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/550W-SATA-Power-Supply-New​-design-with-larger-fan-Pulled-from-HP-Pavilion-/2​...
    I want to upgrade my power supply, but I am not sure if this will fit.
    Any replys will be appreciated

    I would be a little cautious when ordering from eBay.  It's a used power supply for $5 and the seller used a HDD term (SATA) to describe the power supply.  Granted, they could just be saying that it does have SATA power connectors. 
    It looks like a standard ATX power supply. 
    To answer your question, no that power supply will not fit your system.  Your particular system is a slimline and requires a unique power supply to fit the case. 
    The following is the original power supply your unit came with.  You will need one that is like it. 
    http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Original-Supply-FH-Z​D221MGR-633195-001/dp/B00BJ0QW16
    This site claims it is a slimline power supply and provides the dimensions of the power supply.  I would get the dimensions of the power supply currently in the system.  If they match, then that would more than likely be an upgrade for your system.

    3.49 GB of RAM

    The specs clearly state that the card requires a 400W or greater power supply.  The stock power supply with my desktop is 365W max.  My stock power supply seems to be a little taller than others I have looked at.  Most seem to be about 3.25" tall and mine is 3.75".  I was thinking of getting this:

    Your original PSU has an orientation with the plug left. Fan to rear.
    The 630W has the rear grill and a mounted fan on the case. It must be installed with the same orientation with the plug left, otherwise the fan will not work.

    It perfectly matches your picture of the original PSU. Note the 6 holes.
    BTW- I called the supplier, and was told these are generic supplies.
    1) It has 3 fans: rear, side, and back (you can not see the back grill in their pic)
    2) the dimensions are as listed, it is 3.25" as you noted, not 3.75"

  • W520 power supply rating vs. performanc​e question

    I have had a W520 with the i2820 processor option and the quadro 1000 video for over 3 weeks now. I bought several spare 170 watt power bricks for it, but in one location I kept the 135 watt brick from my W510.
    When I moved from the w500 to the w510, when I used a 90 watt w500 brick, the w510 would boot with a BIOS level message that said that the power supply was not adequate and that the machine would be stepped down to a slower speed. The reduction in performance was dramatic and noticable. (The w510 had the 45 watt consumption i920 chip and the more power hungry graphics)
    When I use or boot the w520 with the 135 watt supply, there is no message. My benchmarks do not change from those registered when on the 170 watt power supply, starting with the Win 7 system benchmarks for processor and video. Further, the 135 watt brick is cooler to the touch than the 170 watt one under sustained usage (3 hours plus).
    The question: given that the w520 in my configuration seems to draw less power than the hot and hungry w510, is the 135 watt supply going to work "as well as" the 170 watt one? As a briefcase lugger, any way to shed weight is valued.
    Other considerations: I have no WWAN card installed, and have the CD/DVD removed and substituted with an SSD. The main drive is also SSD, bringing down somewhat the power requirements.

    I remember another post, that I can't seem to find now, which refers to a software utility that displays wattage being consumed by the system.  This would be quite helpful.
    Couldn't that be used to study what is being used, and how much of a power adapter is needed to operate the system?
    I am trying to come up with a solution for vehicle usage, and I am afraid, it will have to be a 12V to 120v power inverter with a brick plugged into it.
    Another factor will be the amount of power consumed when recharging the internal 9cell battery and the external 9cell slice. Doing this while operating the system with WiFi / WWAN active will increase the demand.

  • Adding third party video card to P700 - no power connectors? New Power Supply Question...

    Hello,
    I have a new P700 30A90012US with a 650W PSU and that didn't come with a video card. I am planning to use it as a DAW and for occasional gaming via a dual boot.
    I wanted to put in a third party video card like a nVidea 970 but there aren't ANY connectors for video cards that I can find inside. The monitor I have is a 3440x1440 monitor. I have ordered a second 2609 Processor and RAM from Lenovo and have the following questions:
    Once I install the second processor, how much wattage for a video card is available to me?
    I understand that the 3rd party video card isn't supported but how do I attach power to it?
    If it is required that I have to replace the 650 power supply with an 850, does it come with the required cable? I only see a 4 pin connector on the mobo that is unused (and I believe it is for additional hdd)
    I tried searching but I am at a loss.
    Thanks,

    Your config isn't really power hungry (and the 85W CPUs help a lot).  Though technically outside of the official spec, I think you could easily go to a 225W card for graphics if you had the connectors available to support it.  I'll double check the current when I get a chance, but it's probably really low risk if you want to convert your single 6-pin connector to dual 6-pin or a single 8-pin (via a dongle) to get to 225W TDP if you wanted to.
    The PSU design is very modular, but unfortunately it's the aux power cable drops that kept it from being an easy field upgradable part.  I always recommend that people buy the larger PSU if they ever think they'll be doing any upgrades in the future just to make sure they are covered.
    And like I said if you're comfortable working inside the system, it's not impossible to upgrade that cable drop on your own if you want to go up to the 850W.  You'd have to get the cable and PSU, but after that it would require removing the motherboard and PSU, cutting some cable ties and routing the new cable, then getting everything routed correctly such that the motherboard reinstalls cleanly.

  • Power supply question or Firewire issue

    Hi
    I have a workhorse Dual g4 with three internal video drives, three self powered Firewire drives and an internal Gina audio card. Recently I added a USB2 internal card and swapped my Viewsonic LCD for an Apple where the power is coming off the video cable. For the last 2 days my Firewire drives got balky. They mount but when I try to open them I get the interminable spinning beach ball. So far I am able to connect the FW drives to my G4 laptop and they seem to mount ok.
    Am I asking too much from the power supply or is this a fair load?
    Could the Firewire have failed.
    Last week I had a high whine and lockup (heat related?) It's been funny ever since.
    Is there an app that gives the status of the hardware?
    Sorry lots of questions
    Thanks

    The XServe power supplies (like most modern systems) are rated for 100-240V, so will accept any input voltage in that range.

  • KT3 Ultra2 Power Supply Fan Question

    What is the connector PSFAN1 used for? I thought the Power Supply Fan comes on when you turn on the computer. Seems strange that you would have to route the power through the motherboard....I am sorry for the newbie question. I do have a newer Enermax case that seems to have the correct connector coming from the wiring harness out of the power supply. Do I plug that wire onto the PSFAN1 connector?
    Dan

    Yeah, you will be fine if your plug it in. I have an enermax as well and it is plugged into my mobo and all is well. There is usually a fan in the bottom of the power supply (facing the cpu) and another on the back. The one in the bottom sucks air away from the cpu and the one in the back sucks the air out. You may want to look and see if there is a fan control on the back of the power supply as some let you control the speed of the out blowing fan. Oh, by the way, I just saw that they have three fan power supplies now!

  • Power Supply Cooling Question

    Well, I've been up and running now for the last week or so with no major issues.
    I'd like to thank all of you that answered my previous questions during my search for parts and helping me put a good plan in place so that the building of this system was painless.
    I have a question though that kind of concerns me.
    I noticed one day that what should be an exhaust from the power supply is not an exhaust at all.  The air flow is actually into the power supply.  I thought this was very unusal.  Years ago I actually did have a power supply that had a fan mounted backwards, but that was some cheap case/ps combo in the P2 days.  
    My power supply in this system is an Enermax EG465P-VE.  I said to myself "no way could it be mounted backwards".  After checking things out very closely I found that when I removed the side case cover, the power supply started exhausting in the right direction.  Put the case cover back on and the air flow went into the power supply again.  Ifinally came to the conclusion that the 120mm fan in the back of the case about 2-3 inches below the power supply was actual exhausting so much air out the case that this 120mm fan was actually drawing air against the power supply's fans and causing a slightly negative flow of air (in the wrong direction) through the power supply.  I hope I have clearly described the situation.  
    What concerns me is that the negative flow results in very little air flowing within the power supply, which could  potentially result in the power supply overheating and failing resulting in a MoBo and processor frying.
    To clarify again, the power supply is trying to push air out, but the 120mm fan is slightly stronger and is more than neutrallizing any flow through the power supply.  
    Just a little more info... I do have one 80mm fan in the front of the case sucking air into the case, blowing over the hard drive.
    There is another spot for a second 80mm fan in the front, but since I'm not over-clocking and really not producing a lot of heat I didn't think I needed two fans in front.
    The only other solution that I can think of is to somehow rig up a verister or sensor on the 120mm fan, but to cover all temperture combinations could result in something very complicated for something that shouldn't be that complicated.
    Maybe someone has noticed the same problem and has a solution.
    Thanks.
    //PantherFan

    When you see the specs on a cooling fan it says so many CFM. But really what it should be saying is how many CFM at a given speed and at a given pressure ratio (exit to inlet pressure ratio). For a given speed the relationship between flow rate and pressure ratio is on a negative slope. That is if you reduce pressure ratio, flow rate goes up and vice versa.
    Using your example suppose I put in two intake fans that on spec each draws 10 CFM and one exhaust fan that does 15 CFM and lets assume that the case is so sealed that air can only enter and leave the case via the intake and exhaust holes. When you turn this system on both intake fans try to pressurise the case but as the case pressure goes up, so does the pressure ratio acrsss the fans. Recall the slope relationship. What happens is that the flow rate drops across the two intake fans. Similarly as the pressure inside the case goes up, it become a lot easier for the exhaust fan to do its job because its pressure ratio is dropping. So what does really happen in this situation? Well the overall system reaches an equilibrium condition where the two fans deliver just enough air that the exhaust fan takes out. You can also consider extreme cases where you have massive intake fans and a weak exhaust fan. In this extreme case you'd be better off by removing the weak exhaust fan because the pressure across it becomes so low that you would not need it. You can take the argument around and make the case for a powerful exhaust fan and obviate the need for an intake fan.
    Then why do we need so many fans if all we need is one powerful exhust or intake fan? This happens because as air enters the case, it follows its least resistance path inside the case. This implies that you may end up with "dead air" areas in some regions of the case which won't be good for heat duild up. Now this does not mean that by a careful rearrangement of the components you would not be able to come up with a configuration that only uses one fan. To that you'd need to use computational flow techniques and mathematically model each component in terms of blockage and the amount of heat being put out. This is quite expensive to do so but this is how its done for the high power computers.
