Hi, I am just ordering new parts for another computer and was wondering what power supply should I get. By the way, the computer is not for gaming. I have a 500 watt thermaltake power supply but don’t know if I need one with higher wattage. Here is the main stuff for the computer: OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB DDR2 1066 Ram, AMD Phenom 9950 BLACK EDITION Agena 2.6GHz 140W Quad-Core Processor, Nvidia 8500, 1 7200 RPM harddrive, 1 dvd burner, and thats about it. I am not sure about the motherboard exactly but it would be an highend motherboard. Thanks!

Hi guys, im currently selecting parts to buy to build a computer and i came across a bunch of power supplies with 135mm fans but pretty much all the cases i see have only 120mm fan slots
and for barebones computer kits, the case it comes with only has a 120mm fan slot while the power supply it comes with has a 135mm fan so im really confused

my question is
can i put a power supply with a 135mm fan on a case that only has a 120mm fan slot??
please reply thanks~

OEM Power Supply was
160-Watt Power Supply R1 [Part #6500704]

http://support.gateway.com/s//POWER/6500704/6500704nv.shtml

Manufacturer Newton Power Ltd.
Model Number NPS 160CB-1 A REV: 01
AC Input Voltage 115V/230V
Frequency Normal 50/60 Hz
Wattage 160 Watt
Input Current 4 A at 115 VAC / 2 A at 230 VAC

The one I replaced it from came from an emachines s1862
its a Bestec ATX-250-12E

http://www2.shopping.com/xPF-Bestec-Bestec-ATX-250-12E-250W-ATX-Power-Supply-for-eMachines-P-N-1763

250 Watt
Single Fan
Compatibility ATX 12V
DC Output +3.3V @ 20A, +5V @ 25A, +5VSB @ 2A, +12V @ 13A, -5V @ 0.3A, -12V @ 0.8A

I think its compatible
By the way both the fan on the Power Supply and the CPU work
It is the CPU that is overheating. Having a power supply that has a wattage that is too low can cause this? although the first one was 160, i think that meant minimum. but i think the new one is 250 MAX

This is not a problem of fans, this kind of problem is far beyond proper ventilation, even with the case open in an air conditioned room it was.
By the way, No I have not added or changed any other components. In fact, changing the power supply was the first time I ever opened it since we bought it from Gateway some years ago. It was just a hunch that it was the power supply..

Also, the emachines is broken and I don’t know why. I don’t think it was the power supply because 1) this power supply works and 2) it didn’t work with another power supply..

but on the emachines I did add a 512MB RAM card ext to the 256 it had, but it worked a few months after that.

Both computers were never shut off, I program them to get windows updates and definition updates and run scans overnight and so I always left them constantly On.. How bad is that?
If you click the first link it shows you my exact computer:

http://support.gateway.com/support/srt/docs.asp?sn=0029743917

the pentium 4 board you know takes an extra connection, it needs that 4 prong one..

the graphics card came with it (the card for the monitor), the graphics card, is not integrated, its a card that goes in the first slot on the mother board:
128MB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 [Part #6002191]

and i just remembered that when we bought it (at a gateway store back when they had stores) we made them add a floppy disk drive at the time, and it has both a CDRW and a separate DVD drive.

but the result is the same, no changes have been made. I was actually afraid that the problem was that I had a 160 watt and now i put a 250 in so its overheating because the new power supply is too high, but you people are saying that what it needs is a an even higher wattage power supply
Also, can someone explain how it was apparently working on an even lower watt power supply 160, just fine for a few years?

and I would also like to note that this new power supply has the extra 2nd connection required for a pentium 4 mother board, leading me to believe it was designed to work with it
so there are no compatibility issues with getting a power supply too powerful ? only too low ?
what do have to look at in specifications when you buy a power supply? just wattage and correct connectors?

what about the volts and amps and all that stuff ?

One morning, my PC simply wouldn’t start up. I was told that this could only be the power supply. This system (HP Media center m1050y) has, if I’m correct, a 300 W power supply. With everything this unit has to support, 300W seems underpowered. Can I replace it with something a little beefier, say 5 or 600W, or is that too "Tim the tool man"? I’m female, by the way, so even if it’s ok to get a larger Power supply, how would I know if it is compatible or am I forced to get the part from HP… it is no longer under warranty. Could sure use some help, here. If it could be something other than the power supply, what else might it be? Currently, my entire life is in a metal box in the middle of the floor flat-lining!

Appreciate any help!
