Power Supply Help

[abu_has_the_power]

i am buying a 500 watt psu. the comp i have now has a 350 watt psu installed in it. how do i add the 500? i'm not a very good computer hardware person. is there any tutorials that tell u which connectors go where? or something like that...

I believe that the connectors are self explanatory and idiot proof.

In other words all the connectors that HAVE to go to a specific place ( i.e. motherboard or floppy drive) will ONLY go where they are supposed to and will only fit one ( correct) way.

The others are generic and will go where they best route (i.e. fans, drives, etc.).

The PSU is one of the easiest swaps to make.

so there's no tutorials or anything? i can prob do it, but i have doubts. i might break something and get pissed.

I found this in 10 seconds with Google. (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answerstips/story/0,24330,3330558,00.html)

Perhaps you should leave this to some one else, Abu.
You may have the power supply, but you seem to lack the power itself.

if u need a tutorial to install a power supply u need to go to the emergency room to see if u have any brain damage like someone up there said its idiot proof and if u mess up on a power supply then u are far beyond an idiot.

Abu certainly is a mystery wrapped in an enigma ( and soon to be tangled in extra PS wiring, also), isn't he?

[abu_has_the_power]

i already ordered the 500 watt psu like a week ago. yea, lol, i&#39;m very confusing. ok, thanks

Open the case and look at the power supply and look at the new one when you get it. Look at each connector and compare them all before you take anything apart. It should be quite self explanatory but if you are unsure how to do it after looking at it them then I recommend that you find someone else to do it for you.

Boy, I would love to have someone donate a 500 watt power supply to me. :blink:

[abu_has_the_power]

lol, yea, but i had to pay &#036;25 dollars for one. it&#39;s pretty good. go on Dealsonic and check it out if u&#39;d like.

[boyzeee]

I dont get it..... you post the other day saying please help a poor guy out with free pc parts coz you got no money making out you got a shite pc but you posted here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=62873&st=15&) with ya specs and they seem pretty decent to me&#33; Did some idiot fall for ya sob story and send you a 500watt psu or what? I think ive seen you post before on changing motherboards/hardware etc so you would of had to unplug ya psu in order to change a mobo........ Im a little baffled by this post <_< you say you are only 14 so i will take it easy..... obviously you not just posting for postings sake and jerkin us around, so i wonder what it is :rolleyes:

[abu_has_the_power]

i became broke after i ordered the 500 watt psu. i had money like a few weeks ago, but after i ordered the 500 watt psu, things changed.

adding the power supply is very simple, you should have one large block connection for the motherboard some mediun sived ones for DVD/CD and small ones for floppy and hard drives. they really wont go where their not wanted.
