Uatx power supply

andrewlynch924 · Feb 26, 2018

Hi I have a uatx power supply I have and I need to upgrade to at least a 500w supply. And reccomandations?
I am looking for more reputable brands like evga and not small brands I've never heard of pleased.

uATX is a motherboard form factor, I don't know what a uATX PSU is. As said above, please list the exact model you currently have, as well as why you need to upgrade.

Usually I'm pretty good with computers. The problem is I was going to buy a 500w bronze psu but I checked the specs on mine and it said uatx and I've never heard of such a thing. I wanted to make sure it isn't some small category of power supplies I somehow haven't heard of. I wanted to upgrade possibly to a 1050 ti or a 1060 when prices calm down btw

What is the PC's make and model number? PSU? The Corsair cx550W is a relatively inexpensive but quality PSU solution. I'd skip the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze if that was one of your options. If you can handle it the Seasonic G Series 650W 80+ Gold PSU is usually about $69 and is semi modular. The 550W PSU will be fine for anything up to the GTX 1080.

It looks to be a regular ATX PSU. Is there any way you could measure the length, width and depth of the PSU? You are right that that PSU can easily function with a 500W PSU. Just make sure it's a quality unit. I had that EVGA 500W PSU with a EVGA 970 FTW and a 4690K, 5 drives, 8GB RAM and the rest.I just don't want to assume and steer you wrong.

Every UL certified psu will have a data plate.
It should have the name and the wattage.
In particular, you want to know the watts or amps on the +12v rails.

GTX1050ti does not usually need a 6 pin power connector, so such a card will likely be a safe upgrade without a psu upgrade.
Measure the dimensions at the rear of the psu. A standard ATX psu will be 150mm x 85mm.
If you see that, you are likely ok to replace it.
Look for a tier 1/2 unit from a list such as this:

Seasonic is always good.
I particularly like the Seasonic focus units, here is a 450w version:
