PSU problem on Fujitsu Celsius W510

[by4konata]

I want to upgrade my Celsius W510 workstations with a high-end video cards (they are running with nvs 450 now) but the problem is that their PSU-s are Fujitsu specific 300W with 16-pin main power sockets and therefore i dont have enough power for let's say running GTX 780 and I don't even have a dedicated PCI-E cables for the card... And I can't just buy other PSU cause they are all 24 pin on the market.... Fujitsu give me very expensive 500W 16-pin PSU as an option but it's still not enough for me cause gtx780 (for example wants a 620W minimum) I found dedicated GPU PSU-s online but they are out of stock now everywhere and are impossible to find.... so basically i'm unable to upgrade my PCs now without changing the MB first which is ridicilous... like i'm buying new computers... And I need these machines for video projection and outputing 4 displays with HD video on everyone of them so connecting second psu and doing the paperclip thing is really not a reliable solution... What should i do !?!?! Can the modular PSUs that claim to have 16-pin socket do the work or they are just 2x8pin slots for graphics!?!? Help!

The 16-pin sockets on some PSUs are still for GPUs.

That's why we often recommend not going with proprietary stuff...

With a soldering iron and a pinout sheet you might be able to rewire a standard PSU to fit, but no guarantees.
