Power supply issue

camel lips · 04-02-2008, 08:37 AM

I need to change out my power supply.The one that came with my computer is not that great of one and I found a real deal on a Thermal Lake.The Thermal Lake has the same plugs and stuff my current computer has.

Will I be able to keep my current configuration in tact without having to re format?Just concerned with changing everything out that it may make some difference when I go to plug the new power supply in.

Changing your power supply will not require you to reformat, or make any software changes at all. Just plug it in and go!

Changing power supply will definitely not affect your computer or else i'll freak out since I changed my power supply from time to time. Simple questions can ease the pain. LOL

Make sure that your mobo is a 4 pin or an 6 pin. I have noticed that Thermaltakes have either one or the other.
