Parkzone Corsair

whats up with the jury rig audio wires not bad but never do that to to your power supply with the sata power connector just buy a mulex those fan connectors to sata adapter much safer

when you buy a new power supply do you get a new plug for it? (the one that goes into the mains)

@Macabre215 haha

This is so much overkill, you dont need to change them over plug for plug with the old psu still hooked up. I’m a self taught pc builder, and i can tell you from experience that is not necessary at all…all plugs are pretty much proprietary, the plugs that go the hard drive and dvd drive, CAN ONLY go to the hard drive and dvd drives, fan cables and peripheral hookups have their own plugs also, they design it so you cant really f**k it up even if you have no idea what youre doing

@tototuvieja It depends on the psu. If you’re using a Corsair 550W psu, then yes it’s plenty. If it’s a Rosewill, I wouldn’t chance that at all. The first thing you should look at with a power supply is how many amps are on the 12V rail. This is normally on the sticker placed on the side or top of the psu, and can sometimes be found on the box, but box stats can be misleading sometimes. Your best bet is to see how many watts are on the 12V rail, and divide by 12. It will be more accurate

dude, not gonna lie… u overthought this WAY to much, just match em up after youve taken out the OLD psu cords lol

mate this helped me alot i am a pc dummy and even i worked it all out no worries,
took me 1 hour to remove 430w psu and fit thermaltake evo blue 750w psu
it was a simple task / i purchased a prebuilt gaming pc i7 930 ati 5850.and it only had 430w .i might crossfire it now..

my power supply is a atx 12v and has main 24pin connector. my mobo has a atx 12v 8pin connector so i plug that in?

@Elitefrr

the ram modules are in slots 1 & 3, on all the motherboards I’ve ever seen the slot numbers are staggered. so from left to right it should be slot 1, 3, 2, 4. not having the ram in the correct sequence can cause issues, also the ram wont be in dual channel mode.

whats wrong with the ram?

ftw im runing my gts 250 on 460 super extreme power suply, thinking of getin new one

lol @ ram

@tototuvieja I would recommend a 600w power supple just because the 250 takes up kinda alot of power.

@mtpflyers
well… you owned him…
BTW! great idea with the “plug for plug” thing

Hey, this is my pc
ASUS M4N78 mobo
AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4 ghz

I’m interested in getting the 550W OCZ Z-Series =)

Lol @ vistadude123

Your a fag, mtpflyers owned you, haha.

wow dont mean to be rude but can u say FIRE HAZARD LOL

i checked the previous comments no 1 seem to mention that the power connector for ur hd’s is a SATA connector its sorta new for some people…. the older connector was the peripheral connector but i give u high respects for attemptin an upgrade wit limited skill…. well we all gotta start somewhere right…

CABLE MANAGEMENT!!!!!!

I actually ended up going for an Antec EarthWatts.

So how do you like the Rosewill? I’m thinking of getting one of the green series ones for my old AMD Athlon XP box. Don’t really want to spend too much on a supply for a 4 year old computer, but I also don’t want it to fry. I suppose I could spend 10 bucks more and get an OCZ or something. Actually though, I didn’t realize until recently, but this computer had a cheap and underpowered supply from when I bought it from HP. So almost anything will be an improvement.

lol rosewill

32bit recognizes up to 3.07 GB RAM
3070 MB I think.

He seems to have AMD and Nvidia.
