umbrellacorp Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 So the 3940xm and 980m is pulling quite a bit of power I'm pushing 208 watts or so out of the 240 watts. Time to upgrade to the 330 I guess ? It's getting pretty hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo wing Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) My 240W PSU couldn't power the 3940XM + 980M for long sessions, the computer shut down on me also PSU would get very hot to touch. The 330W is great, huge OC potential. Edited April 25, 2016 by Solo wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbrellacorp Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 did you have to mod it to work with the r4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to get an original adapter, got a fake/defective one from Amazon then I bought the original from DELL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbrellacorp Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 oh btw what heatsink are you using for the 980m the 20f0 works but requires really thick pads, is the 30f0 or 40f0 better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
