Hello I have an Omen Obelisk 875-0014 desktop pc with the Edoras micro atx h370 motherboard. It’s stock PSU is rated to 500W and I’m looking to upgrade it to 650-750W to compensate for the GPU upgrade I’ve purchased. I’ve read a few stories of people attempting to change the PSU with this motherboard to only have it fry the motherboard.  I’ve tried searching for compatible PSU’s for the Edoras but most websites don’t list this motherboard. Does anyone have any compatible PSUs that will support this board? Thanks

@Smart86 , welcome to the Community.

 

You can upgrade using any standard ATX PSU.  Just measure the existing PSU to assure the new one will fit into the space provided.  Some of the new PSU's are over-sized.  The specs will have the measurements.  The motherboard has a 24-pin ATX connector.  You will not fry your motherboard by upgrading to a 650-750W PSU.  The PSU doesn't push the power, it only provides the power that the components require to run properly.  The additional wattage is there for peak needs.  Just make certain to make the connections properly.  I suggest taking a picture of each connector before removing the cables.  I like Corsair products.  They have always been very reliable.
