    Your Aspire TC-895 comes with one of the new style ATX12VO power supply or the TFX12VO power supply. I believe, but not am positive, the UA92 SKU has a 300W supply. Third party replacement supplies for the 12VO designs are hard to find, but the DC.5001B.009 model should work if yours have the ATX form factor supply. Later versions of the TC-895 came with a slightly different case that uses a TFX supply, and that's smaller than the ATX supplies are, so the DC.5001B.009 will not fit.

    i registered just to add to this thread.
    i was able to install a EVGA 650w ATX PS but i had to make a few cuts.
    then i used a COMeap 24 Pin to 6 Pin ATX PSU Power Adapter Cable for Dell Motherboard with 6 Pin Port 13.3-inch(34cm)
    and it works great with my RTX3060.
    also added a fan at the back for better cooling.

    Yes, we have seen several people doing that type of mod. The adapter cable to provide the 12V to the motherboard is important and the PSU itself need to provide enough 12V to drive both the motherboard and the GPU.
