Is there a compatible PSU upgrade for the TG01-2xx model, and are there any issues with your existing one?
So basically, i had a prebuilt TG01-2something for a year or two and decided to go for an upgrade. The PSU the thing came with was only 310 so I bought this 400W HP one from Amazon as HP seemingly didn't sell any fit, compatible PSUs. Got my new RAM, got my new PSU and was waiting for my RX6600 to arrive. With the old GPU the new PSU worked just fine but when I put in the last upgrade, the GPU, something weird started happening. The PSU (or at least I'm like 80 percent sure it is the culprit) starts making this randomly and subtly alternating electrical whirring/buzzing noise when the pc is under load (only with specific games, programs running or situations weirdly enough. Though they are incredibly plentiful anyway). I've decided it might be a good idea to return it and try to get a non-HP one but from what I'm reading, that is impossible? Maybe? I think? It's a bit confusing so that's why I'm here.
What's wrong with the one I have now?
How do PSU sizes work (as in how do I know one will fit and work, both into the case itself and slot into the backplate so all the stuff like the plug, the fan and whatnot are where they are supposed to be)?
What should I buy or where should I look?
Should I be able to run my pc on the old 310W one while I'm waiting for a new one to arrive as long as I somehow "performance lock" my GPU or sumn?
What should i do in general about the situation?
I know that its a lot of questions but I would be very grateful for an answer to any of them. Thanks!
Case, motherboard and PSU have unique dimensions that can't be substituted by ATX parts without swapping all three. The sound likely comes from a coilwine. What's the model number of both PSUs? I think the 310 probably lacks the needed PCIe connector for the RX6600.
Thanks for the update. The new 400W model is L04618-400 and the 310W was L63964-004. Although I haven't tested them due to power needs, the L63964-004 seems to have a compatible PCIe cable that matches the one used by the 400W L04618-400, which works well. Also, regarding coil whine, you're right to be curious—does it originate from the PSU and is it problematic? What should I consider next?
