can i use a normal atx-powersupply for the motherboard i got in my hp p6756sc?

I got an hp p6756sc and i want to upgrade the components, so I was wondering if the motherboard i got will work with a normal ATX-powersupply. Heard that the motherboards in HP computers almost have an allergic reaction to powersupplys.

Hi Steve,

 

A modern standard ATX power supply under 650 watts shouldn't be a problem in HP PCs.

 

Here is a list of things to consider:

1. Specifications
2. Total wattage - important
3. 12+ volt amperage rating - important
4. Modular - not mandatory but I like the flexibility
5. Warranty
6. i7 and SLI ready
7. Efficiency rating
8. Cost
9. Physical size -- standard ATX PSU is 5.5" by 5.9" by 3.4" give or take a few tenths
10. A single 12+ volt rail is a better choice.

www.newegg.com has lots of PSUs choices. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake.....
