The power of the power supply is a very important characteristic of the computer, which is designed to ensure its uninterrupted and full-fledged functioning. The higher it is, the better. But there is a minimum value that must match the specifications of the computer.
Instructions
Step 1
The more powerful the "stuffing" of the computer, the more powerful the power supply unit is needed. As a rule, the manufacturer writes the power on the block itself on a special sticker. There are various online services to find out the required capacity. ASUS has a corresponding form on its website, after filling in which the program will display the desired value based on the maximum possible power consumption of computer components.
Step 2
Go to the service page. In the Motheboard field, select Desktop (if you are using a home desktop system), or Server (if you are testing for a server).
Step 3
In the CPU section, specify the parameters of your processor manufacturer. In the Select Vendor field, specify the manufacturer of the core, in the CPU Type select the processor family, and in the Select CPU field, specify the model itself.
Step 4
In the VGA Card section, the values for the video card of the computer are indicated, where Vendor is the manufacturer of ATI or Nvidia, and in the "Select VGA" the model of the video card is indicated, which can be found in the control panel of the driver of the board (right-click on "My Computer" - "Properties" - " Device Manager "-" Video adapters ").
Step 5
In the Memory Module, specify the type of RAM used (DDR, DDRII, DDRIII).
Step 6
In the Storage Devices menu, specify the number of read / write devices connected to the computer. In the USB section, specify the devices connected to USB. In paragraph 1394, mark the presence of an additional card for video capture, and in the PCI section select the available devices (Modem, Network (LAN), Audio, and other PCI card - the number of network devices and sound cards connected to the PCI slot in the motherboard, and SCSI card - the number of cards for connecting a SCSI bridge).
Step 7
The program will automatically give the optimal value, which should not be lower than the one indicated on the power supply sticker. Otherwise, the unit should be replaced with a more powerful one in a computer repair service.
