QUOTE(asianman88 @ Nov 19 2013, 10:35 AM) I want to upgrade HP Compaq 6000 Pro Microtower PSU which has 320W. I want to upgrade in order to accommodate the right wattage for my MSI GTX650. The problem is that no standard unit with what looks like HP proprietary P1, P2 & P3 outputs. Here is the model of my desktop: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/s...0/c01883660.pdf» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(asianman88 @ Nov 19 2013, 11:18 AM) Is it possible right now to change the current PSU that I have? Or HP does not have any model that powers 400W and above? QUOTE(asianman88 @ Nov 19 2013, 11:56 AM) No. I was planning on it. I know it wont fit That's a custom/proprietary PSU (possibly OEM is Delta from the label layout), and a standard off-the-shelf ATX PSU will not fit at all. I would suggest dumping the rig, then get new motherboard, new casing and your desired PSU. You can move the processor, RAM, HDD and CD/DVD drive to the new machine...

QUOTE(asianman88 @ Nov 19 2013, 07:04 PM) Yes, that was my first thought but im keen on experimenting this. This thing bothers me, but somehow I will a shot by overiding the system. Will dump it once my experiment isn`t going well Do you realize that this proprietary PSU only has 12V outputs (including the standby power)? Can see that from the ratings on the label. I don't think any amount of simple rewiring and soldering may get any off-the-shelf standard ATX PSU to work on your machine (can compare the power supply connections and you will see they are vastly different, including the standby power side). If you want to get a off-the-shelf standard ATX PSU to directly replace that proprietary PSU then some electronics knowledge is required (in other words more complex modifications, especially that standby power section). You could use off-the-shelf standard ATX PSU as a secondary PSU though (using a relay to activate power on/off control), though that PSU will be dangling outside the casing. Depending on the PSU design, some may require a minimum load to get the PSU kept switched on as well. The common ground on both PSUs also has to connected.
