Out Pci
how do i find out how many watts my computer has and wether it contains pci power connectors?
yeah.... i wanna get a new graphics card for my computer but apparently it requires 500 watts of power and two 75w 6-pin pci express power connectors. its a custom computer, so it doesnt have the tag on it.
As answered, unplug the computer. Open the case. Touch the metal frame of the open computer case to De-static your body. Look at the side of the power supply, and see if there is a sticker. It may not state Maximum watts. You may have to add all the Amps for each voltage rail,
(3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts) Then take the Total Amps times your house voltage. In the US it's 120 volts. Europe it's 220. Japan it's 100.
Amps x Volts = Watts
Or, the sticker may be on top of the power supply.
You may, have to unscrew three or four screws, going into the power supply, from the back of the computer.
Then take a clamp loose inside, that has screws, and drops the power supply down.
Or, there may just be a plastic lock, that holds a metal or plastic piece, that is hinged in the middle.
Looks kinda' like a half moon in the center, with a small handle coming off of it. You gently press down on a plastic locking piece, to be able to swing the handle to the outside. This moves the half moon away from the power supply, and allows it to drop down.
There are many designs, to keep the power supply attached to the inside of the computer case. There is Always, three or four screws on the back, however.
Edit: This is a website that has info and photos, to show you , and tell you about the various power cable connectors.
