Turn that fan around on your case so it's exhaust and not intake.

Newegg seems to have a healthy abundance of micro ATX PSUs. By compatible with my motherboard, do you mean the the 20 pin thing? I already looked and this mobo is 20 pins.Flaming_Maniac wrote:
That is probably a micro ATX psu, so you will have problems finding a psu that will fit your case. Also make sure the psu you get is still compatible with your motherboard.
(rofl @ 250w)
I have NEVER seen good gaming then. Never saw BF2 up close on anything better than a Radeon 9600 either. Will a larger PSU also give you better performance since it supplies more power to the parts?The#1Spot wrote:
yea you need at least 350-550 watt psu for good gaming.

There is no visible label on my current PSU. It's an HP Pavilion 750n. So far the power supply seems to look removable. I'll just have to take the plunge and get a PSU of a size that looks like it'll fit and hope that it is removable and that the PSU fits.Mad Ad wrote:

parts either have the power they need or they dont, in which case they will fail or develop intermittent faults at peak drain.
Is that a homebuild system? because if its a dell (or one of similar borg box pc brands) then the psu will have a proprietary connector and you cant just swap it for a bog standard atx without modding.
Also the psu has a label on it, read it and use the info for the replacement.

You don't always have to connect each PIN, if your PSU doesn't support all of the PINS it can still be compatable, you can still plug it in the clip connection wont line up, and you'll have 4 vacant slots but it'll still work. I've done it numerous times._j5689_ wrote:
Will this work even though my mob is only 20 pins and this one is 20+4 pins? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6817338009
Damn. That's the perfect size, perfect power amount, AND you use Paypal, something's got to wrong with this deal with my luck, lol. Seriously though, i'd be up for it.misconfiguration wrote:
Yes, that's standard ATX, that's a breeze. You may have a rough time getting it out, and the new one in that small space. You'll have to slide those CD-ROMS out while you swap the PSU's out.
BTW I have the same exact size 400w PSU sitting in my closet, if you need it I'll sell it on the cheap.
20 bux + shipping, we can do it VIA paypal so you'll have proof of payment, I won't stiff ya, you know where I hang.
Get on Xfire I'll be home in about 30 mins we'll discuss this add misconfiguration_j5689_ wrote:

I'll be home around 3:45. I'm on a shitty school issue Dell Optiplex GX280 right now, lol. The only thing these are good for is stealing parts out of. I want one of these LCD monitors SOOO bad. Everything looks better on this thing than my current monitor and it's using integrated video.misconfiguration wrote:
