[SOLVED] PSU Query

[chrisbrowne487]

HI all

Hope you are all well?

I am currently upgrading my Hp elite 8100 (old PC i know!)

Current spec below
Intel Core i5-660 Processor 3.33-GHz
14GB ram
Asus geforce GT 1030 2GB
325W PSU

I am upgrading the processor to I7-870 and the Video card to MSI Geforce 1050 ti purely for low power consumption on needing its own power supply.

One question is my PSU ok to use?

Thanks Chris

Probably not. Even the wattage is fine, it may be a bad unit. If it's not a bad unit then it's definitely too old I wouldn't do it myself. I'd toss the case and change the PSU before anything else.

It's me or you didn't say what's your PSU ?

Probably because he's trying to use the stock power supply.

Good news: The PSU is a standard ATX form factor.

Bad news: The PSU uses HP proprietary connectors.
