Hi @Cephachrome

Welcome to the HP Forums!

This is a wonderful place to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.

I reviewed your post and understand that you want to know whether a socket can give more power to the computer.

I’d love to help!

Yes, the socket can give more power to the computer. However, the power supply on the computer regulates the power and supplies only the required amount of power to the computer. But, in certain situations, there may be a power surge or short which can double the power supplied through the wall socket which the power supply on the computer may not be able to handle and can cause damage to the computer internal parts.

At any given moment, there is an infinite amount of "power" available from the wall socket. However, as electricity flows to the device, heat is generated due to resistance along the pathway. If the pathway gets too hot, it will be damaged. Because of this, we use breakers and fuses to prevent the pathways from overheating.

Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
