jonny30bass Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hello I recently upgraded my MSI GX640 laptop with an AMD 7970m and Intel i7 920xm. I am currently using a 180W power supply, but it is not sufficing when I overclock my 920xm. When I overclock my 920xm to 3GHz on all threads and start gaming, my power supply will shut down and stop working until I unplug it from the wall and then plug it back in. My 7970m is also overclocked to 936/1500MHz. So I am thinking that I need an even more powerful power supply for my notebook. The specs of my current power supply are the following:Input: 100-240V ~ 50-60Hz x 2.5AOutput: 19V x 9.5A = 180WConnector size: 5x2.5mmI am looking at a power supply that has the following specs:Input: 100-240V ~ 50-60Hz x 4AOutput: 19.5V x 11.8A = 230WConnector size: 5x2.5mmHere is a link to the product that I am looking at: Original For msi 19.5v 12.2a 5.5*2.5mm 230W Computer adapter laptop adapter-in Laptop Adapter from Computer & Networking on Aliexpress.comI would like to know if it would be safe to use this power supply, and if not, what should I do because I can't find a third party power supply anywhere else. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny30bass Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 NVM I solved my own problem. Figured out that as long as the voltage is the same, I can use the ac adapter. Also I ended up finding a 220W adadpter on eBay that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny30bass Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 The 220W psu that I bought uses a 4 pin din connector, but I have a 4 pin din female to 5.5mmx2.5mm male connector that came with my 180W targus powers supply. So I'm just going to use that connector on my new power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
