401608 2005-11-03 06:33:00 hi all,wondering if anyone has givin a compaq desktop pc a power upgrade,ie going from 250watt proprietory psu :angry to a 350watt one ive actualy got one that will fit in the case and the plug looks the same,just realy need to know what traps there are .the mother brd is a asus a7n8x-la again no info cause asus only make them for hp,and hp tech help is not much help.thnx in advance ferrite (4221)
401609 2005-11-03 07:49:00 amazing you got one to fit ! tho dos it fit the right way up? i have one here where the psu fits in UPSIDE DOWN.

will the cables fit ones the psu is installed?

check for any non-standard plugs on the old psu, hp had a few with werid power plugs.

401611 2005-11-03 08:31:00 a bigger psu dosn't send "extra" power to a motherboard. it just means there is power advailable IF it needs it. tweak'e (69)
