Is my power supply enough for an athlon xp 2000+?

Hi, I have a TurboLink 350W powersupply, it came with my case, AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT
I have a Athlon 1.1ghz rite now, and i want to upgrade to an Athlon XP 2000+, and i was wondering, my power supply should be enough for that, right??
+3.3/24A
+5/35A
+12/12A
im not sure about the +12, but look at Dell. My dad has a 4600 w/P4 2.4 + Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO, and dell only ships with 250W power supplies!! and P4's use more power than Athlon Xp's, and i dont have a radeon...i have a FX5200. My dad even has SATA, so....i think my 350 is fine, but i dont want to pull my hair out [STRIKEOUT]if[/STRIKEOUT] my athlon doesnt work and i think its the motherboard or something, when its the P.S...., so.

3. My Dad has a Dell Dimension 4600 w/250W Power Supply
I'll tell you how that is powered with that crappy PSU.
1. Dell sells computers.
2. They have an average 1 year warrentty.
3. When they quit, see No. 1
A few years back, my mother bought an E-Machine (AKA: the green E of death) that came with a 185W PSU. The PSU has already gone out once, and due to the way it mounts, there was nothing more powerful that would fit in that case, so I replaced the crappy PSU with another crappy ($20) 185W PSU. Next time the PSU fails, I'll pull the drives, and toss the case/mobo, and start over.
As for Antec PSU's, well, look at my sig, you will notice I have a 300W Antec. While it is rather weak, the KT266A/KM266 chipset boards and eariler, generally do not power everything except memory from the 12V rail.
While other manufacturers still use the 3.3V and 5V rail to power most of the board, the 12V rail will soon be the most used rail on almost all motherboards.

yes its fine but very close to its limits wattage wise but for amps your all good! so that card will work fine but do not get a x70gtx or higher as then you will be in trouble if you do so as they need more wattage to be stable!

Thank you Callum Gordon

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

Is it possible to change Power Supply unit for Lenovo H420 PC ?

I have 2 questions really as i recently bought this budget system.....I was amazed to see that the PSU was only 280 watts for this systemwhich kind of limits what Graphics card I can upgrade to.
My questions are :
1) is it possible to upgrade the Power Supply unit for the H420 from the default 280 W to say to a 400 W one?
2) If I cannot upgrade the PSU, what is the best performing Graphics Card that I can use in this system? It was pre-installed with a NVIDEA GeForce GT 520, which isn't the best around.
My 6 yr old Dell Dimension 8400 system with Win XP, which i have discarded allowed me to insert NVIDEA GeForce GT 240 card, which i think is a slightly superior card to the above one. Needed a 300 W PSU

Hi RBec and welcome to the community,
Is this your thread over there? If not, it gives a few options concerning the PSU.

Power supply voltage for using PoE splitters

Dear Community
What is the power supply voltage for Apple TV 3?
Power consumption has been specified on the Apple product site, but not the power supply voltage.
Should be 5, 9 or 12 Volt.
Thanks!

How Much Power Do You Need?
Component     Requirement    Line(s) Used
AGP Video Card     30 – 50W    +3.3V
Average PCI Card 5 – 10W    +5V
10/100 NIC     4W     +3.3V
SCSI Controller PCI Card 20W     +3.3V and +5V
Floppy Drive     5W     +5V
CD-ROM     10 – 25W    +5V and +12V
DVD-ROM     10 – 25W    +5V and +12V
CD-RW     10 – 25W   +5V and +12V
7200rpm IDE Hard Drive     5 – 20W    +5V and +12V
10,000rpm SCSI Drive     10 – 40W    +5V and +12V
Case/CPU Fans     3W (ea.)    +12V
Motherboard (w/o CPU or RAM)    25 – 40W    +3.3V and +5V
RAM     8W per 128MB    +3.3V
Pentium III Processor     38W    +5V
Pentium 4 Processor     70W     +12V
AMD Athlon Processor     70W     +12V
For overall power supply wattage, add the requirement for each device in your system, then multiply by 1.8. (The multiplier takes into account that today’s systems draw disproportionally on the +12V output. Furthermore, power supplies are more efficient and reliable when loaded to 30% - 70% of maximum capacity.)

Is this Power supply suffiecent for my system?

Hi, Is this PSU powerful enough to run my computer? SILENT PUREPOWER SERIES TT-420AD, 420WATT POWER SUPPLY, +3.3V@30A;+5V@40A;[email protected];+12V@18A;[email protected];+5VSB@2A. My computers specs are as follows: AMD athlon 2700XP, 2xVdata 512mb pc3200, ATI Radeon 9700pro, Seagate SATA 80GB hardrive, Hitachi DVD ROM drive, floppy drive, MSI KT6 Delta FISR. I want to know whether this power supply will have enough power to run my setup as I brought an ICUTE 400watt power supply that couldn't manage(no doubt cause its a cheap peice of sh*t) but since Thermaltake is a decent brand I'm thinking it should manage but I just want to be sure. Cheers

That PSU will support your configuration and then some. I have several TT Silent PurePower 420W in service - no complaints. Dual-fan PSU of good construction. Whenever Newegg puts that PSU on sale for $36.99 with free shipping (regular $42.00 plus shipping), I jump on it.
+3.3V and +5V are not a problem, you would be hard pressed to build a system that can place a combined load greater than 170W on +3.3V and +5V, even if you tried. Your system power needs on +12V rail will be (MAX LOAD):
MSI KT6 Delta FISR = .5A
Athlon 2700XP = 7.2A (AMD Datasheet)
2x V-DATA 512MB PC3200 - N/A
ATI Radeon 9700PRO = 1A (see: O/C Radeon 9800 Pro)
Seagate SATA 80GB = 2.8A
Hitachi DVD ROM = 1.5A
CPU FAN = .25A
2x CASE FAN = .5A
Max Total = 14A (rounded to the next ampere)
Edit: I should point out that 14A is the load expected if all these components are simultaneously placing their MAX load on the +12V, a condition that is virtually impossible to reproduce outside of a test lab. For instance, HDD and CD/DVD drives generate max load during disk spin-up, thereafter demanding much less current for read/write/seek operations (approx. 1A). Same with cooling fans.
A real world 'continuous' consumption figure would be in the neighborhood of 10A.

Power supply options for H530

I am currently running a Dell Dimension 2400 with 640 meg of ram and Windows XP. The computer has served me well for the last 6 years but I think it's time for an upgrade. We use our computer for basic email, web surfing and occasionally microsoft office documents. I received a email this morning that the Lenovo H530 is on sale for $399.00 (100 dollars off). It has 4 GB of ram, windows 7, 1TB hard drive, Intel dual core G3220 processor. It is expandable to 16 GB of ram. I am sure that this computer is sufficient for our needs. The only question that I have would be the power supply. The unit comes with a 180 watt power supply. I know in the past I attempted to install a video card in my old Dell and it wouldn't work because of the power supply. Evidently it did not produce enough power to run the system and the additional video card. Will I run into any issues if I wanted to install a power supply with more wattage in the Lenovo so I can install a video card down the road if I wanted? Thanks for your help

hi johnfillippi,
Welcome to the Forums.
AFAIK, you shouldn't have any problems or encounter any issue(s) replacing the stock PSU of the H530 as it uses the standard ATX form factor (the front panel connectors are also standard).
In addition, if you'll be using an aftermarket graphics card other than the one listed on page 49-50 of the hardware maintenance manual then you may want to check this article as you may need to alter some BIOS settings for the graphics card to work (this applies if the BIOS is UEFI enabled).

Power supply requirement for SM-ES3G-16-P

I need 3925 router and i want to install SM-ES3G-16-P etherswitch module with PoE into it. So my question is do I need PoE power supply or not? Will PoE ports on this module work with basic AC power supply?

Thank you for your reply. I've read the document, but it is still not clear to me though.
Document says: "Power over Ethernet requires the PoE versions of the router power supplies". I have two PWR-3900-AC power supplies in the 3925 router (not PoE versions). So I will have no PoE on the etherswitch ports? (despite the fact that there is enough power on this two power supplies to set PoE up)

Elite e9150t - upgrading coolingfan/heatsink and power supply (suggestions for upgrade?)

Hey guys,
I don't know why I didn't come here first, but here I am.
Basically, I have the HP elite e9150t model. Great computer... I've already upgraded a few things, but I am looking to do another little upgrade and would love to get some input. It's also Windows 8.1 Pro.
Alright, I've upgraded the ram to two 8gb kingston chips. I've also upgraded the video card to a GeForce 660 GTX. Now I am looking to upgrade my power supply and cooling unit. I've been running into problems where my computer will start to overheat when playing games. I can render out things easily enough with 3D software like Maya, but games make the system chug. That's why I've decided to upgrade the cooling unit and figured I should do the same for my power supply as well since it still has the 460w unit. I'd love to get this ugpraded to the point that I can play games with high settings and not worry about my computer dying on me from heat related injuries. I'm not looking to play games like Watch Dogs at the highest setting. I'd LOVE to have that, but I doubt I could squeeze that out right now. I would, however, love to play a game like Wildstar on their ultra setting (which I feel should be doable with my system).
Also, I am pretty much ignorant when it comes to computer hardware. When I say this, I am not exaggerating. I really have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this part of computers. Here are the two items that were suggested to me. Keep in mind, that I am on a budget right now (starting a new job next week after graduating this past week), so this is about what I can afford (this ~price range). I've also added a fan to the side panel of the computer (well I didn't, but the guy I bought it from did).
First is the power supply:
XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Active PFC Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
550 Watt for ~$25 after rebate. Can't beat that and the people that recommended it were saying that it's made by a great company (SeaSonic?)
And the cooling unit:
Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103182&cm_re=Cooler_Master_Hyper_T4-_-35-10...
It was actually suggested I get the TX3, but I saw that the TX3 does not support LGA 1336 that the HP has.
1) Case size: I've tried googling what type of case I have because it seems like that is the jelly to any peanut butter question on power supplies and/or cooling units. Will my suggested items fit in the case I have? It looks like a tight fit in there, so I don't know how well they'll fit.
2) Are the recommended items good: Again, I don't know anything about this stuff and am going purely off recommendations. Are these the items that I do need?
3) Another thing bugging me about the video card: Not exactly on topic, but I have the GeForce card in there right now and it's huge. I also have a sound card, but the way the PCI slots are setup, I have to put the sound card directly over the GeForce card (and the Geforce card has a fan on top of it blowing up). This has the heat blowing directly to the sound card. I don't know if this is what I want to do? I read somewhere that I want the video card closest to the heatsink? Could I reverse the order and have the sound card below the video card and still get away with it? It's a nice sound card and it's being wasted right now (not even in the computer).
Alright, thanks guys. I know I wrote a **bleep** essay here, but I wanted to be detailed as possible. Thanks again for those that stuck through the whole thing lol...

Hi,
I suggest that you do some measuring from the top of the processor to bottom of the removable side panel. You need this measurement to determine if your chosen heat sink cooling will fit.
When you install the new power supply then install it fan up pointing to top so that is draws cool air into the power supply from the top side air intake vents. Measure your existing power supply and look for a high efficiency model with a large fan that will fit in your PC. If you can find a PSU with a 140 mm fan that will fit then go for it.
Additional cooling ideas: PCI slot cooling fan and vented PCI slot covers.
Your particular PC probably has a single width graphics just link my e9280t (same cabinet and mobo).
BTW--the truckee mobo is not spec'd for 8 GB dimms.
You have made lots of changes already to your PC so saying that you know very little appears to be underestimating your own ablities.

Need Help with power supply reccomendations for my graphics card

hi
i have a MSI GeForce GTX 780 Graphics card... i built my own system, i also got a rosewill rx750 power supply in it which i think is causing me problems, the computer works great until i get into games like titan fall and try and get into a game then it restarts the computer on its own.. has done this with a few games, but it works fine when surfing the net and so forth, i have read its to do with the power supply being week and also read my chosen power supply isnt that good... anyone got any recommendations for me that i should look at or am i looking in the wrong direction with whats wrong with my pc... any help would be great thanks

yes the PSU is the most important choice out there and corsair and seasonic are the best out there! (never buy cheap PSU's as like abvolt said a cheap one can easily kill your more expensive parts)
Cheap PSU = made of the most cheap parts they could get "think cheap shanghai parts are used that may be of any quality good or awful as its just what they could get for the lowest price" (ever bought anything that was super cheap they break very easily)
Quality PSU = the use of good quality well made parts and will have very good testing done on them to make sure they are stable and pass very tight regulations and conform to specs for 10-30 different factors each.
a cheap low quality PSU I class as a paper weight as it will never go near a computer (maybe i would use one as a basic bench PSU for things i do not care if they die or just for testing a fan or something that rubbish dirty power is not really a major problem but silicon is not tolerant to dirty power and will kill parts)

Power supply needed for MS-7220 (Diamond Plus) and others.

The following statement is taken form the K8B Diamond Plus Manual.
For ATX 12V power connection, it should be greater than 18A.
If I am interpreting correctly, the ATX 12V connector should have dedicated to it a minimum of 18A.
My first, question is if the Power Supply has two or more rails, how do you know the power dedicated to the ATX 12 connector on the Power Supply?
Second, if a +12V rail is not dedicated the connector, how do you know what is connected to each rail of the Power Supply?
This maybe the source of why many are saying, they have more stable system performance when using single rail Power Supplies.
I have tried eleven different manufactures to get more detailed Power Supply specifications, but no responses; today through February 1st is the Chinese New Year.
Those of you running the K8B Diamond Plus, what are you using for Power Supplies and are you having any instability problem?
One thing I did find curious was that going the manuals and in most all of the newer Socket 939 motherboards have this specification, but nothing in the motherboards specifications of on the MSI Web Site about this required and the are a lot of 500-600 Watt power supplies sold that do not meet this specification.
The statement Total Wattage does not mean a thing has even more meaning to me now.
Are we going to have to know the Current Rating of each cable on the output of a Power Supply now to insure we are purchasing the correct Power Supply?

Ihave a Tagan 580w U22 with switchable dual/combined +12v rails and it is very stable,set it combined for 35a.
Only thing to ponder was the 4/8 pin +12v/p4 connector,power supply has the correct split 2x4pin connectors so does the board but there is a little removable cover over 4 pins,so thinking MSI fitted it there for a reason I have fitted only one 4 pin connector,no problems as yet.
Think you may well have a point re the 18a.
I have just given my son my old sli platinum/cpu/heatsink/ram/vga card,this setup ran 250/11/4 @ 1.4v & ram 2.5 3 3 7 1.1 @ 2.75v with the Tagan.this setup now fitted in his case but with a dual 18a rail Enermax and he can't o/c stable to the old settings.Case has better cooling than the wavemaster it all came from.
Dont think the enermax is bad just that it supplies the power a different way.

New power supply adapter for MD-100

Is there any place where I can get a new power supply adapter (or a new power supply) for my Nokia MD-100 speaker? I have a UK adapter now, which was inlcuded, but I want one for swedish sockets instead. I have an "external" adapter now, but I hoping I can get a proper adapter which fits the power supply.
Thanks.
Regards,
Joakim.

Hi Joakim,
Do you have the original UK charger for the Nokia PowerUp? If it's the one with the removable pins would you sell me the UK pins? And perhaps someone else has the Swedish clip, I've got a spare USA one.
Cheers
