| 1163217 | 2010-12-19 03:46:00 | I'm currently using a 350w power supply. I just looked in one of my spare pc boxed and found an unused 450w power supply. The Brand is L & C Technology. it says Total Output is 450w max. So i'm thinking this is 450w? If so, is it safe for me to put it in my computer? as an upgrade? |

| 1163219 | 2010-12-19 03:58:00 | Any particular reason to change from the One you have working Now ? It will work, BUT it may also cause more trouble than its worth. The PSU is one item you don't want to skimp on, a bad / cheap/ Budget PSU can blow the whole PC. Just did a google search, and found several posts similar to This one (forums.techguy.org). Your choice, but if your current ones working, and no problems, dont fix what aint broke :D |

Also, no guarantee that the 'new' one is any better given the tendency of many manufacturers to exaggerate. The wattage rating is a very fuzzy/global parameter in any event. |

| 1163221 | 2010-12-19 04:03:00 | isn't a bigger power supply better? and also, it has more power imputs, which means (If i can find the correct ribbon) i can put a 3rd hard drive in. |

| 1163222 | 2010-12-19 04:53:00 | Have you tried this other 450W PSU in the box its in to see if it does actually work? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1163223 | 2010-12-19 07:36:00 | isn't a bigger power supply better? If you're not approaching the peak draw of your current PSU, and it's decent quality, there is no benefit in upgrading. |

| 1163226 | 2010-12-19 19:35:00 | isn't a bigger power supply better? Only if it really is bigger . Cheap generic PSU makers have been known to exaggerate . ALWAYS stick to quality PSUs only, forget any cheap nasty ones . |
