Hello,

I have an older desktop Acer VM6630G desktop. It currently has a FSP Group INC (original) model number FSP300-40AABA power supply in it (300 watt).
The system was purchased new in 2014 or 2015.

I am looking to or wanting to install a 400 or 500 or more watt supply in it. Does anyone know where I can locate such a power supply that would fit in this system?

Thank you
Neil

    Your Power Supply Fsp300-40aaba have 12 Pin port.
    it's nice to have a direct 12-pin connection on your PSU, you're still stuck with the problem of limited PSU options. Plus, by getting a standard 24-pin ATX PSU, if you decide in the future to replace the proprietary motherboard with a new one, your PSU will already be able to handle it.

    Thank you very much ijw. Much appreciated.
    where did you find the PSU motherboard 24 pin to 12 pin adapter?
    I checked Amazon and Ebay ,but this item is out of order. If you order this from internet during these days, it will be delayed because of Coronavirus.
    Best solution is find a local seller for recondition items.

    Hopefully delivery won't be slowed too much by the current virus situation. Keep us informed how well it works out.
