Hello,

To find out the power of your PC's power supply, you need to open the case. Its wattage (W) is usually printed on the power supply unit. Sometimes, you may need to unscrew the unit to see the part where this power rating is indicated.


Best regards.

Hi, epango! I just wanted to add this little shortcut that lets you know if our diet is proportionally powerful with various materials. Here it is: http://eu.msi.com/service/power-supply-calculator/. There you go. I think this will help a bit for those who don't know how to do it otherwise. Bye.

This is about determining the minimum power supply needed based on the various components of a future configuration. Here, it is a matter of knowing the power of the power supply included in a PC when it is unknown. In this case, the solution is to open the case and look inside.
