[hp z800] how to know if I have a 800 or a 1200W power source/supply

[radu3]

Dear all,

I have 2 hp z800 and I want to know if the power supplies/sources are 1000 or 800W. What should I look on their cases? What else differentiate them (physically)?

quick check #1  do you have 3 6 pin AUX GPU connectors? if so 1115 watt supply (850 watt supply = 2)

quick check #2 open side cover, remove power supply, read label, wattage is posted on the label......................

quick check #2 was the most helpful.

I don't know how aux gpu connectors look like and I don't know if they weren't removed by the previous owner

thanks

the GPU aux power connectors are 6 pin and are used to connect to the video cards mating socket

and no,  removal of these connectors would require a teardown of the system to remove this cable

last, reading the user manual or the service manual for this workstation model will show you the connector(s)

Thank you, DGroves!
