power supply

[bond007]

I have a MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine) motherboard in my HP pavillion p7-144cb. Can anyone tell me what the biggest power supply source I can put in this is or how to find out?

PSU's don't have a limit. Just know that unless you're running near peak output, your PSU won't be as efficient if you're using a 1000W PSU and only drawing 200W.

I was told too big a PSU will fry a motherboard if its not able to handle it. Is that true?

PSUs only draw as much power as they need.
