So, I want to upgrade my GPU which will require more wattage forcing me to upgrade my PSU. I already have another PSU(350w) to replace my old preinstalled one(180w), but the fan for it would be blocked by the roof of the case and if I try to flip it over, the screws wouldn't align so im kind of stuck. If its not possible replace my PSU with this one that i have, can anyone link me any that is compatible with my PC? around 300w is ideal. thank you

You have a problem with the design of the motherboard. The PCIE slot is too close to the Main PSU header on the motherboard, thus 2 slot cards rarely fit. See this from others.

There is an adapter.  Trying to figure out the orientation of your motherboard socket and this adapter. The latching tab is farthest from the side with a square on each end, is that true?  This adapter does not latch to your motherboard, as the orientation, I believe, covers the latch?

Are these pics an example of your existing PSU, bolt pattern, rear exhaust.  From what your saying, the intake slots are on the bottom of the case, correct?   Then is this CorsairVS450 correct?

 

Want some humor>>🤣

BTW<> the product Upgrade and Service manual shows the PSU at the bottom.

Hey thanks for the reply,

 

Could you point to me on a pic of the Hamar mobo what is the PCIe slot and the Main PSU header?

This is the GPU I want to upgrade to. Would you happen to know if it would be safe to use with my 18...

The angled adapter wouldn't work since it would be blocked by the PSU. Yes that is the same bolt pattern. 

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by intake slots, but my current PSU's model is D13-180N1A.

I think the PSU in the upgrade and service manual is at the top.

 

Thankyou

Please answer yes or no:

1) Your PSU is in the top of the case.

2) Hamar board as shown (below link) and Main ATX power header st at the bottom of the board

@alfredjames,

That confirms my suspicion.  Top mounted PSU with rear exhaust.
