How can I find the brand of my power supply?

[amogachi44]

I hoped up my computers side and I see my power supply. I have no idea how to find out what brand it is. All I know is it has a max of 600w.

All I know is its HP. Is that the brand?

This is the same model number - so is this the same power supply that I have?

Ah it has the same part number so I'm going to assume that this is my power supply? Can someone confirm that?

And is this a good power supply?

its a generic PSU
I wouldn't trust it with my hardware personally

Hehe so you wouldn't trust it in your computer normally?

I mean its been doing okay so far and I've been playing graphically intense games on it Gw2, Crysis 2, Ac4.

So you don't think I should attempt to OC it?

Ok, this is what comes up for me when I look up your model number: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f210/help-with-n...

These are the specs, according to that thread:

"12Va --- 16A
12Vb ---18A
12Vc ---12A
12vd---10A
5.08v----16A
3.3v ----15A
5.08Vsb ----2A
-12V ---.3A"

If the power supply genuinely has four separate 12V rails, then that could be your problem; perhaps you're overloading one of them. Or maybe the PSU is failing. Sometimes PSU manufacturers claim that there are separate 12V rails when there really aren't. Dunno.

Hope this helps from a previous inquiry.

I'm confused - what do you mean?
