need to upgrade PSU

crybaby · 2006-10-08 20:48:30

i stuck a Radeon x850 into my Dell nearly a year ago but recently it has been overheating alot and i have to revert back to the original x300 that came with the machine. the card seems fine in other machines so i think I need a new PSU for the Dell. Could anybody recommend the best place to get one of these?

Whats the model of your Dell? Some of us can lookup to make sure its a standard ATX power supply that you are after.

Best give Dell a buzz about it, crybaby. I have googled about and one person suggests it will fit but might make other things quite the tight fit in there. If you can measure the dimensions of your old one with one you are going to buy, that might work too.
