Been busy upgrading my computer and stuck my old MB and CPU into Bros machine both are working fine, was thinking of using the old MB and CPU and memory out of bro's puter and upgrading another machine for a neighbor.
Bit of a puzzle, the power Supply for this puter is a ATX ok,it has the normal 20 way power plug that goes into the mother board 24 way power socket plus the extra 4 way one that goes into the extra four ways on the mother board power socket but the new mother board is a bit more modern and has another four way socket alongside the CPU,I have a vague memory that the extra four way on the main socket is not really needed,anybody know if this is true?
I know new Power supplies only cost a few quid tiz not meanness that is the motivation the computer case is from a HP pavilion desktop and a normal size PSU is a tad long to fit in,the PSU in the case must be a proprietary one used by HP and is shorter than the standard psu.
Can stick a new un in if necessary but it will be a bit of a squeeze.
