power supply fun!

by markschu . Updated 18 years ago

Here we go again! : ) I have asked Intel this question and they have sent me 800 documents which will take me 40 years to read. In other words, I can’t find the answer.

Concerning my motherboard which is a Dell (I cringe every time I write that word now, lol) with an Intel i945G chipset. I need to know if there is a MAXIMUM voltage continuous power PS that I can upgrade to. Or, if I can just go ahead and put a larger one in (my Dell OEM PS is 275V) that will cover enough power for my new video card (needs at least a 300V or 350 not sure) and new monitor, etc.

In other words, are you ok using ANY larger PS (that you can fit) as long as you don’t UNDER power your system and that is adaptable with your motherboard (this matters as well, right?)

Thanks again, guys!

(and THANKS OH SMEG for the Dell motherboard adapter!!!)
