554812 2007-06-01 00:57:00 What precautions should one take in regard to the power rating of a PSU?

If I have a 400PSU, could I safely replace it with say a 500 or 600 etc?

What should I take into account if I was to upgrade and why would I want to?

554813 2007-06-01 01:06:00 Updating... you can put anything in really. The only reason you should really need or want to go bigger than a 400w would be if you wanted to get a bigger gfx card.:thumbs: wratterus (105)
554814 2007-06-01 01:12:00 what system do you have and what PSU do you have?

no problem butter bigger in unless its some cheap and nasty brand. quality is as important as size.

If there is no need to replace the PSU, then I suggest you don't, though.
