I need help with psu

KittyKing · Apr 12, 2016

Are dual power supplies safe to use? My friend has a pre built system with a 300w psu. He want to buy a graphic card but his psu is being a problem. I just wanna know if he can mount another psu on top for his gpu.

Isnt it easier to just replace the old PSU?

KieranPCGamer · Apr 12, 2016

Nopee, just replace the PSU with a high quality unit look at this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html go for tier 1 or 2

No , dual power supplies are a bad concept , get a single high quality power supply that can run the card without that type of scenario.

The system is pre built and the psu cannot be replaced.

Then , you don't want to upgrade , Dual PSU's aren't a good idea.

Its impossible, unless the prebuild has the PSU soldered on...

KieranPCGamer · Apr 12, 2016

Why can't you replace the unit? also what spec's are the pc also what GPU is your friend going to get?

Sorry! He now told me the problem is his motherboard. His motherboard does not support 24 pin power connector.

Most PSU's come with a 20+4 pin connector that you can use on a 20 pin motherboard.
