[SOLVED] Upgrade PS for Lenovo M82 SFF

[ken h]

I'd like to upgrade the power supply in my Lenovo M82 Small, for the purpose of powering a GTX 1650 GPU. The GTX 1650 is the best low profile GPU that does not use an external pin power connector, that I have been able to find.

The standard power supply is 240w. I currently use a GT1030 that needs 30w and the system runs rock solid.

According to the PSU requirements at Real Hard Tech, the minimum for a GTX 1650 is 380w. The Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy says the GTX 1650 needs 75 watts, which the PCIe slot can provide.

I believe the PS form factor is TFX, 85mm (W) x 65mm (H) x 175mm (D).

I'm using this PC primarily to stream 4K video, and have no requirement for gaming.

Any ideas for a recommended unit?

Your current psu is sufficient. System powerdraw with GTX 1650 that only takes power from the pci-e slot never exceed 180w.

Thank you for the reply.

I’m confused why you say the existing 240w ps is good enough when the Real Hard Tech, which is listed as a reference in the stickies here says 380w.

I put low profile GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1650 in OEM machines with 180w and 240w psu and everything runs flawless.
