Question Upgrade Lenovo Thinkstation p330 powersupply

[kbruff2020]

Hi All,

I am trying to replace the power supply so that I can supply power to a pci video card PNY GE force GTX 1650 (REQUIRES POWER [6 PIN CONNECTOR] ) ....

Model: P330

System model: 30C5CTO1WW

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...NS/THINKSTATION-P330/30C5/30C5CTO1WW/MJ08GXQY

I noticed that connections on the motherboard don't match what my supply offers!

1) on the motherboard there are 10 pin and 4 pin female jacks

2) how can I get the right 500 - 600 watt supply and cable converters to support this motherboard and video card: PNY GE force GTX 1650

3) The existing power supply (I have the tower) LITE ON, MODEL NO: PA-3251-1, 250 WATT MAX, P/N = 00PC766

What PSU did your prebuilt come with? If you have the 250W PSU in your prebuilt, assuming you've got the tower form factor and not the small form factor unit, then you can pick the "400W PSU - FRU 00PC738" unit for your prebuilt. The unit will come with a 6+2pin PCIe connector, which should aid you in your GPU drop in.

Thank you -- I appreciate it so much!!!

You might be able to shoehorn a larger wattage ATX PSU but you might run into clearance issues with the drive bracket. You'd also need adapters to adapt the standard connectors into proprietary connectors on the motherboard = more cables to manage.

I purchased a great Powe supply but on inspection the interface cables wont fit.
I did fit check and the Corsair TX-550M will fit however

I need to purchase a 24 to 10 pin conversion cable
It has the eps / atx12v cables as joined 8 pin ( or 4 and 4) connector.

I will check the links you shared.
