Hello,
I just got through with an on-line HP person who told me that HP power supplies are not upgradeable...???? HP rep basically said:
The rep HP rep had no answer when I asked "Why not?" So I asked "is it fused into the case?" Then the rep replied "yes" I asked "are you sure?" ... I asked this becuse it took the rep 20 minutes to find out what the power supply was ... then the person said "you'll void your warrantee" ... Then quickly typed "I hope I've answered your question" and went away ...
That just seems rediculous; that a power supply would be fused into a case. Reason for this thread is that I am looking at an HP Pavilion H-250 however the power supply is apparently crazy low @ 430W. To this computer I want to replace the 5770 with a gtx 470. Why on earth does HP always put such low power supplies into their computers as a rule?
Maybe I should just be happy with the putter the way it's being sold with the 5770:
