Can You Tell Me What My Power Supply Is?

[Francisè von Spitroast]

Hi. I've been trying to find out my power supply to no avail. There's no stickers on the side of it with the side case off that tell me anything helpful. There's a few random numbers which I've Googled but I just can't find anything at all. From these pictures, any chance you could tell me what it is? I don't know if you can judge like this but thought I'd give it a shot.

Ignore the dust and sticky tape. I just want to find the wattage lol.

Take it out, the sticker with info on the PSU is probably on the other side. The PSU is mounted in the "wrong" orientation.

I would but I wouldn't have a clue how to put it back in. Actually I'm not even sure how to take it out without breaking it. I have zero knowledge of computers just about. So I assume you can't tell just by looking at it then? Without stickers of course?

[Julien, cut it out.]

There should be 4 screws on the back side of your case holding the PSU in place. Remove the power cord first.

Nothing to identify. It's a Black PSU with no writting.

Don't need to remove it fully.At the back of the case should be 4 screws fixing it to the case. With it off and unplugged unscrew them. Then you should be able to move the PSU around. Carefully so you don't dislodged a cable. Check the bottom of it and the other side for make and model info.

Thanks guys. I'll have a look.

Umm... okay. So it's a 250 watt power supply... but my graphics card minimum (GTX1060 6GB) is 400? It's been running flawlessly for years with this card. How is this a thing?

This is quite annoying because I want to get a GTX2060 which is double the power requirement in this PSU. Anyone know any cheap PSUs capable of running something like that?

It's recommended. The TDP is 120 Watt. If you add 100 Watt for the rest of your system...

Post a CPU-Z validation link: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
You can either
download the Setup file for an installation of CPU-Z or
download the ZIP file for a portable version (recommended).
Execute cpuz_x64.exe. Click on the button "Validate" and then on the button "Submit". Copy and paste the link that your browser just opened.

Could you take a picture of the sticker now it's in proper orientation?

And a GTX 1060 6gb doesn't NEED 400w, it only needs ~120w.
So it makes sense that it would run from a 250w unit, though I wouldn't put much faith in longevity of the unit.

- Single Channel 16GB 2133Mhz CL15

- B365M chipset
Is this a prebuilt?

I updated the link. Yes but everything other than the power supply has been changed. That's why there's 16 GB RAM and a new CPU. I'm always on a budget so I didn't have money to get anything that hasn't been 100% necessary over the past years. Besides this RTX 2060, except even this I'm scrounging money to buy, so I'd really rather not get a new PSU unless I have to, which it seems that I do.

Mhm I see, is XMP activated for the RAM? Becuase that is a bottom of the barrel stick if I've ever seen one.

Also, can anyone confirm that's a 180w PSU....?
I would get a new one regardless.

Though, why do you feel the need to get a 2060/S? The 1060 6GB is a fine card for 1080p60hz.
