Hello everyone - new guy to forum, Happy new year -_-
ok i have a dell 8400 this is the spec Click me , how ever i have replaced just about every compaonent apart from the PSU/CPU. I was under the impression i had enough, However it would appear i'm not even suppose to have enopugh to power my RAdion X1950 pro 512MB which needs 500w alone arrr and i only have 350W ..
ok here's a list of the components i have upgrade from original shipment
So my question is can/does anyone know of a uk based website that supplys a compatible dell D 8400 PSU (hope fully with out having to hack case to peaces , i have researched on tom's hardware USA but all links are for US sites and i dont want to buy one and have to return it to states if wrong.heres the thread .From my research it's not just a case of picking one up and fitting it, power plug could mis placed or switch may prevent fitment, so i thought it best to ask ppl who may have allready done this task.
I was under the impression that if a PSU was not powerfull enough to power system then system would not boot - am i wrong on this ???,
