psu replacement

[mark bennett]

in my ultimate wisdom i managed to blow my psu the other day when cleaning the pc i was working on i have never replaced a psu and just need a little help the psu is a delta gps 300 ab a with a input of 115v/6a 230v/3a and a output of peak 300w rated 250w.

 

the motherboard is a pc 661m08 fx 6ls and the p.c. is a iqon

 

it says on psu output cannot exceed 235w so what i am asking is if i but a 250w power unit will that do ?

 

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

regards

what you are quoting on the old PSU of not exceeding 235 is what that PSU is capable of - you need to make sure that's not the reason your PSU popped.

 

Can you do us a quick list of whats in the PC - failing that go for higher than you need say 300Watt -

sorry to be a pain

 

yeah i haven't got the speck to hand the reason it went bang was because one of the kids flicked the fuse switch at the back from 230 to 110 i believe and there was too much power going through it lol.

Ouch - the problem with that is that the MOBO or and the CPU could have popped aswell.

unless you can test them in another machine first you wont know until you plug the new PSU in
