  1. Dead PSU - temporary replacement with spare PSU.


    Hi Everyone.

    So, this morning my trusty 11-year-old PSU 850w died. Not too upset as it has had a really good run.

    I have a spare PSU 750w that I have taken out of the studio computer set-up that I know is good.

    I don't want to go through the process of re-routing all my sata power cables just yet as I have 8 drives, a new PSU has been ordered and there is no point in cabling twice, I know this might be a stupid question, but, if I just power up my C:OS drive and B*Tongueroject drive, will windows remember the drive letters set to the other drives when all the power is resumed?

    Just wondering, I remember when an ssd drive failed many years ago, windows decided to rejig the drive letters therefore ruining all my shortcuts and photoshop file links.

    Best wises

    :)

    Hi Jason,

    Minimum PSU recommended by NVIDIA is 300W. So I suggests you to upgrade your PSU to use this graphics card.

    Hi, I hope you're doing good today.

    By default you can't, is not supported by Dell.

    But I also know that you can make some tweaks to make it work, one of them is changing the PSU, I wouldn't recommend it at least you have some experience with electronics and building PCs.

    Regards.

    psu watts

    Hi,

    I'm Roshan V S, Independent advisor and a Windows user like you.

    You can see the wattage on the rear/bottom side of your PSU. There must be a label which shows the wattage and other specifications of your PSU.

    Check this article for further reference:
