Uberperson Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Will SLI 750(stock) run okay on the OEM 120w adapter or is it necessary to purchase a more powerful adapter.If necessary what alternatives are available to the overpriced adapter Lenovo sells.Thanks, I am looking to buy my 2nd 750m ultrabay card.

alex070775 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 170 watt adapter is a must. 120 watt is to low with SLI.you got an I5 or I7 processor inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjoe Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd be interested to know this as well. Cooler Master has a universal 120w on Amazon (Amazon.com: Cooler Master NA 120 Universal Laptop Power Adapter (RP120-S19AJ1-US): Computers & Accessories). I haven't found a universal for more than 120w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octiceps Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The 120 W adapter is not enough to power the system. This Dell Alienware 240W charger and adapter cable (to convert the connector to fit on the Lenovo) are what some people have been getting. It's a bit cheaper than getting the 170 W Lenovo one.Amazon.com: Dell Extra Slim 19.5V 12.3A 240W Replacement AC Adapter For Dell Alienware M17x, M17x10-1847DSB laptop, Dell Alienware M18x, AM18X-6732BAA: Computers & AccessoriesX75 Power Connector - 7.4 x 5.08mm Female Jack to 5.5 x 2.5mm Male PlugThe 240W one is currently overpriced right now, it was <$40 not too long ago. You could wait for it to drop back down, otherwise, you could get this 180W one:Amazon.com: Original Dell 180w 19.5V 9.23a Slim Design replacement AC adapter for Dell Notebook Model: Dell Alienware M14x, Dell Alienware M15x, Dell Alienware M17x, Dell Alienware M17x R3, Dell Precision M4600, Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision MAlso, where do you intend to get the 750M Ultrabay? Lenovo has not made it available for sale yet on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions of alternative bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assitch Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 My Y500 650SLI came stock with a 170Watt. I have had no problems thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
