[Solved] CPU Power ATX12V

First, this is a really cheap, obsolete PSU. You can tell by the 38 amp 5 volt rail.

Second, I checked both newegg and the manufacturer's website and I saw no mention of a CPU power cable in the tech description and none in any of the pictures.

Third, I recommend getting a better PSU. I like Corsair and Antec (all but the Basiq line).

The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made. A high quality 700 to 750 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can power a system with two video cards operating in dual mode. There are a few exceptions like the new ATI Radeon HD 5XXX series cards which use less power due to their energy efficiency.

A high quality 500 to 550 watt psu will have a +12 volt rail rated at 40 amps. A high quality 700 to 750 watt psu will have a +12 volt rail rated at 60 amps.

Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Seasonic are some of the brands that have a reputation for high quality power supplies that consistently earn high marks in technical reviews. They are reliable, stable, and come with a 5 year warranty. Some of the newer models come with a 7 year warranty. Lately we've been seeing a few other brands offering some high quality units. An example would be the Antec Earthwatts series which is an improvement over Antec’s older series psu’s.

So then this is okay right? Since all I need this switch from a 310W power supply is because I'm changing my graphics card from a Radeon X1650 to a HD5750

Also, what I mean't by the fan on the top was that my computer wouldn't benefit from it because the power supply does not go at the bottom on my PC. It goes at the top so it wouldn't be sucking nearly as much air as the power supply that's already in my PC.

if its at the top, the orientation of the psu will suit the case, as itll need to suck directly from the case, and not from the top, which will be closed. depending on the cpu youre using, you might want to up the wattage of the psu, to a 600~650!

hope this helps
