Up Grading Power Supply

[cuteshoes]

HP Pavilion 570-p027c, serial [Personal Information Removed], Product  Z5M18AA

i would like to upgrade my power supply.  When it went out i was shocked **bleep** was only  180 w and 68%. I would like to upgrade the power, while it is down I am upgrading the memory to max as well.  I am interested in a reliable one that will match all the plugs because I am doing this myself.

180 W uATX Regular internal power supply

68% efficiency

Thank you!

@cuteshoes , welcome to the Community.

The power connector on your motherboard (Lubin) is a standard ATX 24-pin.  Therefore, you can use any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I recommend a full modular model.  They allow you to only use the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better airflow in a smaller mid-size case.  Corsair makes good products.  Here is a 550W full modular PSU: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm550x-cp-9020177-na-550w/p/N82E16817139231

You should measure the space where the PSU will be installed to assure that the one you choose will fit.
