replaccing power supply for HP desktop pavillion 510-p109

[lb41058]

Can I replace a power supply for my HP desktop pavilion 510-p109 with one with higher wattage? Mine is currently 180, and most I'm finding start at 400 to 500W

@lb41058,

Yes, you can, here are a number of options: HP 759049-001 Power Supply Replacement (atxpowersupplies.com) based on your HP PSU as seen here:

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. The Athena AP-MPS3ATX40 400 Watt ATX will fit in my computer case. So it doesn't matter that it's 220W's more then?

@lb41058,

It doesn't matter at all: your system -including peripherals such as your graphics card, will use the power it needs and that is really all there is to it.  It is nice to have excess PSU wattage for a number of reasons. Even if you were somehow able to fit, say a 850 watt PSU in your computer case, it would be the same story.
