Hello!
My husband got an RTX3070 as a gift for his birthday and I need to upgrade the power supply in his N50-640 for him to use it without issues (he's getting random black screens for a few seconds when gaming).
I've done a bunch of digging and have discovered that:
- The motherboard has an 8pin (4+4) 12v line
- The proprietary 6pin ATX computer cable.
- All the post relating to this (or the N50-620) say that the PSU connections are proprietary and not easily replaced.
Looking online I can't seem to find any PSU that are 650+ with this combination. Posts on here mention getting an OEM PSU but I can't find anything over the 500w that came with the machine. Two posts mention using a 24pin to 6pin adapter to get around this issue. However, none of the post say for sure which PSU/Adapter combination would work. Quick online searches just show a few adapters made specifically for a dell or HP machine.
Anyone able to shed some light on a solution? Or should we just return the gifted card?
