Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello, I've a HP Z230 Tower
With Intel Xeon 1271 v3
16gb Ram
400w PSU
PSU Detials:
Model: DPS-400AB-19 A
Input: 100-240V~ 6A, 50Hz-60Hz (or) 118V/6A, 400Hz
Output: Total output power 400W
Manufacturer: Delta Electronics (Delta Electronics Industrial Co., Ltd.)
My query is that RTX 3050 8gb can run on this PSU? Or is it a risk for damaging card?
Can anyone guide? Because I think the PSU is not upgradeable in this machine?
