Hi community. I've had this wonderful AIO for about a decade and wanted to know if the actual external power supply could be upgraded from the 150w? Are there other larger ones out there? I don't need links, just the specs would be great. I've upgraded the CPU to a i7 2600k and i'm thinking of adding more power hungry RAM and maybe an upgrade of the mxm video card.

 

Thanks

 i'm thinking of adding more power hungry RAM

 

Most RAM uses less than 2 volts, and much less than 0.5 amperes, which would consume well under ONE watt, out of the 150 available watts.

 

If you replace your old "spinning" disk-drive by a SSD (Solid state Device), you will consume  less wattage, and get much faster input/output for the SSD.

 

P.S. I replace automobile tires before they are 10 years old. I recommend that you replace your disk-drive, before it "blows" like a bald tire is likely to blow, at the worst-possible time.

Thanks for the reply. I've replaced the HD for an SSD.
