Hi,
My Z230 comes with a 320w PSU with no 6 pin cable to upgrade the graphics card. So I need to upgrade the PSU.
I researched several approaches:
1. Buy a standard PSU. But there's a problem: HP use non-standard PSU (18 pin), even if I can use a cable to convert the standard 24 pin to 18 pin, the position of the screws are different, and HP PSUs are larger than standard PSUs so it left an empty space on the case.
2, Buy a 400w z230 PSU DPS-400AB-19A. It only has 1 6 pin.
3, Buy a 400w z210/z220 PSU DPS-400AB-13A. It is much cheaper. The cable, size and position looks like the same. Also comes with only 1 6 pin connector.
So, what's the best way to upgrade the PSU? Is approach 3 possible? Can I use the Z210 PSU?
