I have a DELL XPS 8940 built Nov 2020, with intel i5 - 10400 CPU @2.9Ghz . Recently, Ive moved into video editing and so I've upgraded the RAM to 64GB using 2 of the 4 slots and all good so far. I have a MSI Geforce RTX 4060Ti GPU to replace the installed discreet unit and additional Crucial (T500) Gen4 NVME1TB M.2 SSD still to fit. The PC shipped with a 360W Dell power supply which has lasted well but I know I need more power to fuel these changes.
As parts are difficult to locate, I was overjoyed when I found the 500W Dell PSU in the UK on Ebay from a reputable seller. However, when I received the part today, it's model DPS-600EM-00 A, from Delta Electronics. It looks identical to the 500W unit. I think the connectors are OK too. I spoke with Dell and they say this may fry the motherboard. Clearly, at this stage I'm out of warranty, will this bigger power unit work or am I to believe Dell technical support? What would you do if it was you?
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
