Psu

[archiecstll]

I need a power supply to replace a failing one in a pre-built Lenovo from several years ago. I do not know what wattage I require, nor can I find the list of recommended manufacturers on this site. Newegg currently has a sale going on assorted Corsair PSUs which prompted my search. I would like the cheapest recommended PSU which would suit my needs.

The link below is a picture of the label with information about the failing PSU. If more information is needed, I would be glad to supply it (provided I can find it).


Edit: I should add that this is an office machine with nothing added from its original build. From the picture, its clear I do not require anything more than 310 watts.

Newegg has several good PSUs in the 300 to 350w range. I have good success with FSP and Sparkle. They are around $32. Seasonic is another good brand, they are more than the first 2 I mentioned.

This is an excellent power supply

Do you have the full model number of the Lenovo to verify the form factor needed? For example a M57 (A5U) would be a A6072A5U. It should be on a sticker. May be on bottom of unit as well.

It's a Lenovo 8811FHU. I was able to find the forum post with the recommended PSU manufacturers after a bit more searching. This PSU caught my eye due to its current rebate price. And Corsair happens show up on that post.

Haven't checked on the form factor though.

The CX series Corsairs are not recommended.

It's standard ATX form factor, the Seasonic that jdeb recommended will work well.

Yes sir, Seasonic is good to go. It is whisper quiet, stable, and durable. You will need to use your old power cord as it is a bulk power supply.

Thanks for the recommendation.
