New Power Supply in Dell E510

PC Cooling makes psu that work in Dells as well as normal computers (Dell uses custom wired psu's to keep you buying parts only from them).

PC Cooling also makes the best psu's you can buy....even if they do cost the most.

as long as its the right size. do u have an ATX or a mATX PSU?

well, why an XTX??

get an XT and overclock it save some cash.

if its a single XTX i'd go with this

cheaper. modular.

meh, crashman or clueless will come by and say newegg reviewers are stupid.

i think clueless uses like 5 OCZ PSU's..maybe it was crashman...oh well.

they dont make BTX PSU's as far as i know...ATX PSU will fit on a BTX mobo

OCZ and one other maker specifically list theirs as being BTX though, so I went with one of them to be safe.

Ahhh, I have also seen "power adapters" online to make ATX PSUs fit BTX boards, so its no big deal I guess.

Now you guys tell me this Everyone of the Dell forums swore up and down that I needed one that specified BTX, so I ordered this one:

Its still a quality power supply and I don't regret that I bought it, I just could have gotten something that would have worked just as good for less...

So, do you guys think its worth returning that one to Newegg and getting credit for the difference between that one and the Antec TTP? Or should I just stick with it?

Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone on these boards. I just got my PSU today and installed it in about 20 mins. It works great so far and was easy to install.

Are there any programs I should run to test its stability or anything? I know memtest is good for memory, anything to check a PSU? Or no?

i have an e510, got a coolmaster PS to power my x1950xt, worked fine.
now i got a 8800gts g92, and i needed more amps on the 12+ rail, so i went high quality with corsair, tx650w .. packaging was sexy, it looks sexy, but it wouldnt power up the system. i thought it was DOA, and returned it, but as i searched i found a good deal and got the corsair vx550w instead. guess what. that did not work either.. what is up with the incompatability with corsairs and btx???

hrm.. interesting

620HX-- Output <--- yours
+3.3@24A,+5V@30A,+12V1@18A,+12V2@18A,+12V3@18A,
- 12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3A
550VX-- Output <--- the one i tried in my e510
+3.3@30A,+5V@20A, +12V@41A,
-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3A

what does the +5v rail do? yours has 10 amps on the one i tried!

I got an 8800gts g92 512mb upgrade from an x1950xt and needed more amps on the +12v rail, so i wanted to get a good powersupply like a Corsair.. The packaging was sexy, and so was the PS itself.
Too bad it didnt turn on!
Oh well, doesnt matter anyhow, i got pissed off and got a quad core and new motherboard to slap in one of the cases laying around, ill just leave this dell for my girl to use since she doesnt "like how slow" my old p4 is .

spoiled much eh

just found the box from the PS that is in the dell right now, and it has 45amp! on the +5v

for anyone looking for a better powersupply in your e510 or 5010
Coolmax 450w works . only has 17amps on the +12v1 rail and 16 on the +12v2

mystery solved. thanks

I have a e510 and am looking at the Raidmax Rx-700. Does anyone see a reason this won't work?
