KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hi and welcome to ExTS I don't understand your question. You are looking for a replacement PSU - you have found one for $45 Is this an EXACT replacement for your PSU ?

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 EHH You Got Me Wrong, Thats The PSU I Currently Have In My Case !! Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I Need To Change My PSU For Sure Because My PSU Has Been Making To Much Noise This is probably the fan. You could try giving this a clean and a tiny drip of oil. Here is my Psu : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...592409530.html If you are looking for a replacement - isn't this a direct swap ? Or are you looking to up-grade to a bigger Wattage? If this is the case I doubt you will find anything. This PSU is not a standard fitting and is designed for specific cases - usually small form factor where space is a premium.

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 For Replacement Well I Want To Replace My PSU To A Better One Like 400Watt Or More!! Can You Please Try Or Anything That Would Be Fitted In My Case Any-Kind Or Any Brand Will Work, If So Within No Budget I Will Pay. Please Dont Give Me A Sad Face.. And Ive Been Adding My Oil And Stuff Like That For The Past Year.. And Ive Been Cleaning It Regularly . But Now I Cant Do That Anymore , Its Really Waste Of Time And Its Starting To **** Me Off Also !!! Please Help Me !!!!! Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I found the Lenovo forum where you had asked the same question :) I Want To Replace My PSU To A Better One Like 400Watt Or More!! I assume that you want to add a Video Card - otherwise there is no advantage at all in up-grading your PSU. I doubt that this is possible anyway with this system. If you are thinking of using this machine for gaming - to be quite blunt - you will be wasting your money. Gaming is not just the Video Card. It is the Motherboard / RAM / CPU too. There is a limit that your system can accept. 32 bit systems can only recognise 4 GB RAM - assuming the m/board can cope with 4GB The poster in the Lenovo forum asked for the Machine number ( 9690 or similar ) This will help identify the m/board. I still doubt that there is a bigger Wattage PSU that will fit your system. Standard PSUs look like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]1816[/ATTACH] The CPU has a socket arrangement - these are specific to m/boards and older CPUs cannot be replaced by newer ones due to this.

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Psu Well something like tfx/ftx Psu, because I don't think an atx Psu may fit in there Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I gave the ATX as an example of a "standard" PSU that is used in most cases. You still have not said why you want to up-grade. Your PSU does not seem to fit the dimensions of LFX / CFX / TFX supplies. (all of these are low Wattage as I suggested earlier ) click here Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) For movies Yeah I wanted to add in a graphics card so that my video would not buffer so much and all that loading is really annoying. I just want to upgrade my Psu and add in a movie graphics card and most the time it will be movies but I'm also playing call of duty 4 modern warfare as it lags on my current built in card too. And I just saw your link those Psu are like 300 watt max. Are there any card that could be run on a 300 watt Psu as mostly not for games Edited January 2, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 The problem is that even those PSUs do not match the sizes you gave in your first post. There is one other option ..... Mount a standard ATX PSU externally. ( assuming the leads are long enough ) It is a bit ugly - but can be done. Just make sure that the PSU is grounded to the case. This is assuming that your motherboard has a standard 20(4) connection for power. You never said how much RAM your system has? From the link you gave your m/board will support 2GB If you are running XP with 512 MB then this is not enough to run video.

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Mount I have 2 gb ram And you told me to mount a atx Psu, what do you mean by mount And can recommend me a Psu so I can mount it...... And I'm running windows 7 home premium Edited January 2, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I mean fit it to the outside of your case. It will sit on top of the case. This is NOT standard and there is no fitment you can buy to fix it to the case. This is something you would need to do for yourself. This is the only way I can see of getting anything above 220 Watts to your system.

Lenovo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 lol that will look very ugly but still I gotta do it... If I do this then I can add any atx can you please recommend me any psu like 400+ watt or even more but please me cheap for example more watts and cheaper Quote
KenB Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Yep - it will look ugly :) Cheap PSUs - click here and click here You MUST make sure that the connection to your m/board is standard ( your PSU isn't ) Your Hard drive connections will either be Molex or SATA Check these before you select a PSU. The PSU must have the appropriate connections for your hard drive The leads - because you are fitting this on the outside of your case - need to be long. Suggest that you get this working first before you consider buying a Video Card.

KenB Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Your m/board looks like standard connections. The main power one from the PSU - does it look like this ? There may be a separate 20 + 4 pin instead of 24 http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/main24index.jpg That PSU you are thinking of getting has SATA power connections. Does the power connection to your hard drive look like this ? Your m/board has both options. ( IDE and SATA ) http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/sataindex.jpg 50Cm is about as long as you can get for the leads. That PSU has 30Amps on the 12v rail - this will run any Video Card you decide to get. I mentioned grounding[Earthing] the PSU to the case earlier. You can do this with a wire from one of the screws on the PSU to one of the screws on the Case. One thing about cheap PSUs. PSUs in general are very inefficient and cheap ones are more so. It says 500Watts but you may, over time, get considerably less. They are also prone to failure long before an expensive one. This said - if you want a cheap PSU that looks as if it will do the job :) The black socket on the board next to the aluminium cooling fins is the PCIe x 16 socket for the video card.

Lenovo Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) this wire goes to the motherboard as long as i know my mobo supports the first one picture can you please suggest im really poor at choosing i want 500watt psu please !!!! u mean this psu will be able to work for lifetime or something like that but i dont know if that is the power connection to my hard drive !! http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-alpine-500w-psu-120mm-red-fan-78ZN.html?refs=375290000&src=3 or this one !!! Edited January 3, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
KenB Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 That one looks fine if you just want a cheap PSU. You didn't say which connection to the hard drive. The IDE ( Molex ) connection looks like this: http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/peripheralindex.jpg Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

Lenovo Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) where is the hard drive connected !!! in the motherboard or on the side !! what does this mean [TABLE=class: data-table-1, width: 100%] [TR] [/TR] [TR] [TD] 7200RPM Serial ATA supported [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] and i found this on my internet from my pc specs and my current psu wires http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/3887/rgsgdsdfg.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Edited January 3, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
Lenovo Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) loooks like according to the picture it look like it have both of them !! idont know yet can you please tell me where is the hard drive located is it right next to the psu beside the mobo.. i think it connected with the 1st one the black hard drove connector Edited January 3, 2013 by Lenovo Quote
KenB Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 This is the hard drive ( different case ) It is inside the case. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp118/kenbrabin/Inside%20My%20Computer/HardDrive_zps81aa5386.png 7200RPM Serial ATA supported 7200 is the rotational speed of the hard disk. Serial ATA supported means that SATA ( newer ) hard drive can be used. However - your system supports both SATA and the older IDE. So we still don't know what you have. Take a look at the hard drive and the leads from the motherboard. If there is a broad grey one ( 80 fine wires ) going to the hard drive it is IDE. The pic above has an IDE hard drive - broad cable ( looks yellow in the pic ) If it is IDE then the PSU that you have selected will not do as this has SATA connections.
