How to install a Power Supply

[mati123se]

hey, can u come to my place and install it for me.. i didnt get how to.... LOL LOL LOL

[Troublestone2000]

I have a question what do we do after we screw in the power supply?....Lol ;)

[ONLYPLAYmeCOD6]

Motherboard : ASUS P5P43TD CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 VGA: Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT So 1x24-pin 1x4-pin 2x6-pin 6xSATA connectors I also have 1 CD-ROM, 2 HDD's(1 TB and 500 GB) and a floppy disk drive(for no obvious reason) so 4 molex conectors Now please check this "ATX 760W HEC Cougar A760" and this "ATX 700W HuntKey HK700-52PP" so they right now cost preaty much the same 760W has more then enought cables, is that alright?

[randomer1432]

i hope someone can answer this:

basically i bought a new graphic card and a new power supply right, now the power supply meets the minimum for the card (card needs 550w mine is 650w) but the max load/charge for the power supply is 22A my card needs 38A which means while the card works its not doing as good as it could.

trying to find another psu so i can exchange it back but im having trouble finding a psu based on its max charge so yeah if anyone could help me out with finding a psu. cheers :)

[marc2377]

@randomer1432 But what card requires that incredible power flow? I think you'r mistake

[randomer1432]

@marc2377 its the nivida gtx 570, i got the 1280mb one with gddr5 by palit

[marc2377]

@randomer1432 That card actually consumes no more than 250w when fully loaded (search google for benchmarks). You will be fine with a 600w psu. I reccomend corsair 600cx v2 (that's mine, and it does provide that wattage with a good securirty margin).

[marc2377]

@randomer1432 I reccomend corsair CX600 V2, it's the one I'm using. Awesome psu with active pfc and 80%+ efficiency. Runs silently and cool. Make sure it's the V2.

[zephyrargilopod]

Gee it would have been nice if you showed the various connections on the motherboard and where the smaller cables actually get plugged in. Most of them are simple I know but I don't see a four pin on my mobo. Does that mean it just doesn't need one? Is there anything aside from the obvious that I don't want to do when powering up a $1000 system? See to me you haven't actually installed anything. It's almost there but ... Oh and I figured out the screw holes on my own. Thanks though.

[giftbasketer2]

This is a very "dazzling" video. =p

[apache655]

nothing but excellent!!!

[halucination117]

@BlitzSoccerPL if its just an average power supply than at the very least you may have to move some things around, I just finished installing a new graphics card and 550 watt power supply and it fit perfectly. But im no professional, so you may wanna do some research.

[BlitzSoccerPL]

will any power supply fit into any computer please help i have a hp pavilion verde se a6645f and i need a new power supply because im getting a new graphics card HELP PLEASE

[Kridane]

It's weird how much computers developed since this video was made.

[GordonFreemanMedia]

@Kridane And when people 2 years in the future read that comment they'll be like WTF is youtube.

[VaguelyErected]

Dude, that 1350 PSU isn't even modular, fuck that shit!

[VaguelyErected]

oh, your pretty good actually, sorry 'bout that.

[VaguelyErected]

You're gonna teach me how to build a computer, you must be kidding, right?

[Reeparful]

should the power supply fit snug into the case or is it okay for it to be a little smaller?

[copperbed100]

you sounds like WHATTHEBUCK.

[meade9166]

3,823 videos.......way to go

[magicgreengold]

So what's the downfall to installing the psu with the fan up, stuff falling in? Still seems more effective.

[Itachi5050]

@magicgreengold well for one, most psu's only mount one way, and secondly if you have it up it's pulling warm air from the case to cool the fan, but if you put it down it takes air from outside the case(through the filter) which is cooler air

[Jamalsish]

fan facing down ? wow

[lazydoc80]

Logan i saw your video about installing a video card and i have a question I have a Vizio XVT323SV TV If i connect it to my desktop with a HDMI wire

will i get sound from the TV speakers to? Or do i have to buy some kind of

adapter? Like if i wanted to watch a youtube video on my tv with the sound

coming from my TV speakers and my computer speakers? Also do you think a Vizio XVT323SV is a good TV or bad TV?

[Shadowframe1]

Step 3: Connect the cables..

[kylemonkeyn54]

UR FACE GODDAMMIT!!!!!

[thechinaboy]

Can eps 12v 4+4 cable plug to atx 12v power connector ?

[TokyoMadness4393]

I Love the intro porn music

[wildwolves8]

Ultra PSU are fully modular, that why I have one!

[pajlos149]

What PSU do i need?

Graphic:ATI HD 6670

Processor:amd phenom ii x2 555

Ram:4GB 1333 mhz

Motherboard:AS Rock N68-S3 UCC (Skt AM3)

HDD:500GB 3.5 inch

please reply fast!

[Coolreaction198]

@pajlos149 Pay attention to the graphics card and the motherboard. That should help

[chicanokid101]

@pajlos149 500 watts plus

[rock3tcat]

@pajlos149

600W

[elias1995ish]

@pajlos149 a corsair 400 w is enough

[pajlos149]

@elias1995ish you sure cause some other guy said i need a 600w

[elias1995ish]

@pajlos149 a cx400 can run ur system with 2 hd 6670 ! hd 6670 doesn't even use a 6pin pci-e connector , 400w is enough , but go for more if ur willing to upgrade ur pc later on

[jensbjoern]

"This is really simple, I have nothing to tell you" - Keeps on telling you what to do.

[Avfcvenom]

ok im probably stupid but say a processer needs 125watts and then a graphics card needs 450w do i need atleast 575 watt psu ?

[Syrix100]

@Avfcvenom the more the better but yeah 575 is good

[MicroMyApple]

@Avfcvenom it's always equal or higher. so you either need a 575, or bigger.

[MrSWAT302]

Can you install a power supply with a motherboard on already~?

[Crazyyn00b]

i got a thermaltake 550w for 60bucks ;)

[MrSWAT302]

@Crazyyn00b Hey, would that fit on any PC~? Becaues Im thinking of getting that too~

[SirSexyAlot]

Hey guys, can any coolcat help me? Fantastic! Do all PSUs fit in all chassis? Are they all the same dimensions?

[Crazyyn00b]

@SirSexyAlot Yeh, they're all the same in all cases..

[zXJulianXz]

@SirSexyAlot They are different dimensions from what ive been told. Measure to make sure it fits

[SMG4LIFE01]

is there any way to use more hdd using a sata power splitter cable

[SMG4LIFE01]

hey i brought a dell lol but upgrading it now

[undefeated29]

Gordon Freeman in the house!

[PyroMania61]

May be a dumb question..

But why do u place your PSU upside down with the fan looking down?

Ive got my fan on the top.. Am i doing something wrong?

[DemonTraven]

@PyroMania61 when your case has holes and space between the surface your case is on and the bottom of the case, the power supply actually takes air from the bottom, not interfering with the airflow inside the case itself. so basically : install it the other way around and your psu will always have fresh air, and wont interfere with anything in your case

[Respectloyalty1]

Bro your an asshole.... people that come here to learn don't have a problem with screwing their PSU in...they have questions about all the cords and where they go.. sure you told us what each cord is and what it connects too..but I don't feel anymore confident after watching this..On to the next "how to install video"

[Ramiel4]

4:32 Camera man goes ooooo

[OMGitsREAPER]

@Ramiel4 LOLOLOL

[StalkerJamforx]

Step three....connect the connectors!!

[xDarkwish]

Can something go wrong if i use a power supply much higher then needed



[J95X3RNVY]

@xDarkwish I don't think...

[sondano]

that PSU looks like a snake farm

[laurens97]

question, how do you conect a extra fan in my pc and how mutch Watt do i need to put like 5 in?

[elvedin999]

@laurens97 most fans run at 12volts and if you want to install it in your PSU you cant use the the 3 pin connectors you will have to use the 4 pin molex. Power isnt really an issue with fans its just that you will need a ton of molex connectors

[laurens97]

@elvedin999 thnx for the info

[Trouper84]

sorry this might sound funny but could you have too much power that could barbecue the high end gear? or the PSU would regulate that. thanks

[Somethingcrappy]

@Trouper84 No because the power supply will only send the power needed. In fact if you have too LITTLE power that could barbecue your high end gear.

[kenz1031]

does the input nd output matter when replacing the power supply? or can i just get one that fits the case , has the right number of pins for the Mother board ,and apropriete # of volts for the computer?

[Partyanimal127]

Will my 450 watt PSU run a gtx 550 ti that says it needs 400 watts... I think so but just want to make sure. Running a 6570 1gb now but I already have my 6 pin ready for the 550 ti

[coppoman1]

@Partyanimal127

It all depends on the amperage of the +12 Volt rail...

How many amps has it got running through the 12v rail?

[MrRedWaffle]

I got a 550W Powersupply on my 1000$ gaming pc so i want a new powersupply :/

[mattman91c]

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP!!! I am a novice in computer building but I know the basics. My bros computer has worked for a while and it was just a power supply issue. I have the power supply and hooked up some of the connection including the main motherboard connection. My problem is the 4 pin connection in the motherboard. The computer will turn on when that is unplugged but wont turn on when it is. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

[TheYTChronicles]

This guy talks way too much, finding another video -.-

[5618684631]

@TheYTChronicles Patience?

You want someone to give you a 12sec tut and end a vid?

[TheYTChronicles]

@5618684631 Didn't say 12 seconds num nuts.

[BOZombiesCod]

@TheYTChronicles hey dumbass this guy actually knows wtf hes talking about compared to the other vids where there installing it and dont explain you shit so stfu and enjoy the vid

[harvythewondergerbil]

@TheYTChronicles You don't have a 10 minute attention span? Console gaming might be right for you.

[TheYTChronicles]

@harvythewondergerbil fuck you Jimmy.

[jorgedavidordo243]

04:32 You can hear a "Wooouuu"

[PennyDropper]

Camera guy made me lol.

[KNDLYO]

If you're installing the power supply in the TOP of the PC should the fan be facing down or up. IE the motherboard or the "ceiling" of the case?

[SuperSimoholic]

@KNDLYO I imagine down, so that the fan can cool the motherboard?

My old PSU had the fan pointing down.

If the fan points up, there's no point in even having a fan, as all the air is just going to get trapped.

[SuperSimoholic]

@KNDLYO Actually, scratch that. I don't know what I'm talking about.

[iPerfection68]

yeah but which cable goes where dammit?

[Jamalsish]

@iPerfection68 which one

[ZiomASek300]

@iPerfection68 well he told you

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

3:54

Akward moan.

[alecz92]

how can i know how much power (watts) is directed through the 20pin atx cable toward my motherboard?

i want to calculate and see if there is enough power through that cable to support my cpu and gpu

[freedybox]

do u have to have a degree to do this

[cmichael67]

you installed it with the power button on. also i need you to show what wires go where

[jokiiiiiiii]

i have a Dell 745 optiplex does the 550w ps fit in it?

[zolikoff]

I usually install bottom-mounted PSUs with the fan facing up. Don't really like the way the bottom grill sits in most cases; it's either offset, or too small (it kinda seems so in the vid too), and it probably hinders the fan.

If you have front and side vents that pull fresh air into the case, the PSU will be getting some of that without trouble, and you can mount it with the fan upwards.

[TheSaltysack]

is a 550 good for i hdd i video card quad processor and 1 dvd drive and 4 gigs ram will this power supply be good

[PmpSprtn]

@TheSaltysack 550 should run every thing up to high-middle class gaming. You should be fine unless you're running crossfire or something.

[WeirdoMikey2T]

@TheSaltysack I know someone who uses a 350w with 9400gt 1gb, 1HDD, 2 dvd burners, 4gb ram, intel core to quad q6600 and his computer runs fine.

[flyagaric123]

Thank you

[SoldierCyfix]

@WeirdoMikey i bet somewhere out there someone did just that

[gamerfreak133]

@NvhsIvan ???? that was a week ago, let it go already??

[IgotGreens101]

even if the psu wants to suck air from the bottom is it alright to flip it and let it suck airfrom the top by flipping it over? itll still mount the same just curious if thats alright or not seems like it would get better airflow from top. just curous

[PhilipTheaker2009]

And here i thought replacing a psu would be hard....

[TheMrSchmidty]

01:14

Let's talk about sex, baby!

You could just have said that >.>

[gamerfreak133]

Do you think that I can play todays games on max with Intel Core i7-2600, 12GB DDR3, 1TB HD, Radeon 6850 1GB, DVD±RW, Win7HP64. But i only have 500 watt. So should I change the psu then? Or do you think I can use that?

[G0DOFWAR107]

@gamerfreak133 i'd go min 750w psu for gaming :)

[ucgangsta12]

@gamerfreak133 No way man, get a nice 750+ watt corsair

[MexicanJuice7]

And to think I was afraid of doing this before. Such an idiot I was.

Well, that hasn't changed, but I am now a more educated idiot!

[SuperFatboy000]

hi,my sega gamegears power suply is dead,what can i do or change 2 fix,thanks

[teac77]

only 360p? :(

[Gimo60]

i have bought a 145W power supply for about 4$ to test build a computer, will it work?

[GreenGiantShit]

@Gimo60

145W will probably not work well at all.

[Gimo60]

@GreenGiantShit what about 200?

[confinedPC]

@ImperatorCA yeah the 550 only needs a total of 400w so you should be fine

[TheGamer32121]

wait u dont need to plug it anything?

[BrokenBondsOfSanity]

Slide it in and screw it, got it.

[xLefTii]

@BrokenBondsOfSanity lol good one and thats what she said xD

[vkev21]

does the fan always have to be down?

[BulletProofGeek]

7:50 to 8:00 are my most favorite part :D i replayed it like 10000 times

[WigzellRM]

I have a Tiger Direct built machine with an ASUS M4A7BL-M motherboard and have to replace the power supply. The original was a Turbolink ATX-CW420W. The problem is that the 24 pin ATX connector of the new power supply is reluctant to go into the slot and I don't want to break the mobo. The connector is the correct one but it appears that the problem is due to manufacturing inaccuracies. It seems that I will have to take the mobo out and put it on a sheet of polystyrene for support. Ideas please

[123rapoo]

@dito1423 the pcu fan should be in any position, in different pcus. Well, if you try to insert the pcu and it doesn't fit.. Probably its the wrong way.

[dito1423]

does it really matter if the pcu fan in up or down?

[protoss1210]

fan down. got it. thanks!

[BlueFire240]

plz reply i am building a computer but don't what power supply to buy because i don't know what parts of the computer need the power supply and how do you know what is the power consumption for a computer part

[cybertron50]

its funny that the 1350 w one is called GREEN POWER !!!!!! wtf !!!!!

[xLiamFielding]

@cybertron50

That's because it's the most efficient one there.

[oHaiinexD]

@cybertron50 LOL

[EpicHawk]

Stupid faggot! I WANT LOGAN!

[CaptainP00face]

Omai, I'm buying a new graphic card, case and powersupply. I'm WAY too afraid, to build this, but most of my friends don't know how to as well. I'm at a loss!

[Latvietis96]

@CaptainP00face what graphics card are you getting? and how big is your PSU?

[javysoccer13]

Wait so if a graphics card requires like 500w PSU that is what it consumes or its already factored in with the computers requirements?

[japorms318]

does it matter which way the fan of the psu is facing? in my case, i wanna get a cooler master which has a fan on top of it, and the location of the psu is on the top rather than on the bottom

[trueace50]

@japorms318

doesn't matter what he said, it's normally at the top of the case (which it should be because even i know heat rises) then the fan should face inside the case not facing the top. a good way to tell is the type on the psu case should be the right way up, as if viewed looking inside of computer case. here's a man who is trying to make putting in a psu sound easy (and it is) and has caused more questions than he solved. flash put 1300 psu in a massive case not exactly standard is it.

[Lobonaut]

i was just doing my first build ever, and then i got to my PSU and realized my PSU slot was at the bottom of the case, and there was a grill pointing towards the ground. I panicked and thought "OMG wont the psu blow hot air into the carpet until it catches fire?"

haha thanks for telling me that large fan is for SUCKING air. im such a noob.

[ondemande17]

I think the most tricky part is to determine which connector goes to the correct hardware without seeing this video

[casper123]

Very helpful

[piplup10203854]

So unless your going for something super crazy go for that 1350. If you going to something just short of fully loaded is there something like 900 or even 1000? I am very new to this

[JmanHunsman]

does PCI 6 pin x 2 mean u need 2 6 pin connectors? someone answer plz

[robertwilliamshaw]

@JmanHunsman yeh that means 2

[mfmayes49]

if it goes on top, where does fan face? down or up?

[shadowk33]

man is very simple but how to install on the motherborad?

[GerbrandThunder1]

installing hard drive in dvd drive with brackets ;)

[TehMaxLightning]

Badass tutorial man. THanks.

[super1super2]

But will the power supply blend?

[honorship]

@super1super2

That's just not funny anymore you moron.

[super1super2]

@honorship this is from 2 months ago, like anyone would care about this now

[LtVictor1]

I need a 550 and im on a 250 O SHIT o-o

[Flamable3000]

some1 PLEASE awnser this question its bothering me for so damn long now and i cant find the awnser. as you can see at most psu's the ide hdd/dvd connector splits up so every cable of those has 2 or maybe even 3 connectors. my question: do u lose power if you use all those connectors on different devices???

[Roger5970]

open your case and look at the lable

[ghassanWENN]

how do i know how much watt there can be on my power supply ?

[Masterlinkx1000]

@ghassanWENN find your pc's model number and look it up on google or something

[Areweonfiya]

is the fan supposed to face up or down?

[boredmanism]

@Areweonfiya it's supposed to face where the holes are.

[Number1Techguru]

I miss bfg

[bammargeraskate96]

hi im thinking of buying a low to medium end gaming pc so im upgrading of a Dell inspiron 580 MT it has a Ati radeon 5450 1Gb, 4GB ram and intel core i3 but it only has 300 watt PSU should i get a 650? Also they wont tell me the exact motherboard they only told me that it is a Intel motherboard how will i know what will work.( i dont think i will be able to build my own PC so thats why i went for a dell)

[valleyofthedark]

retardedly, my comp came with, 4gig ram 1tb hdd, dual-core 2.8ghz cpu, dvd/cd rom. and 250watt psu. so when i get a gfx card i needa upgrade the psu. :/

[Jayli0]

Omg I love this guy, he knows this shit like the back of his hand. He explains things and how to do things step by step with confidence and seems comfortable explaining this stuff, after watching this I felt like a pro.

[abensbutik]

if i have an old pc with a 250 watt power supply. can i then upgrade it to a 500 watt with out problems pls answer. sorry for bad english

[zactheazn]

@abensbutik yes u can, it will be fine. when installing a power supply, it doesnt matter if u do not use all of the watts/power that is provided on the psu

[lolgo4gold]

gonna move up to 850 now, gonna buy a second Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 :D

[MidnightRedemption]

i feel ready for war. i dont know why.
