How to Replace PSU on PC - iBUYPOWER Tech Talk DIY PSU Replacement

[@yeonjaechung5839]

I appreciate how even though, it's a pre-built, you provided a guide for replacing PSU. Thank you.

[@HeilRay]

Certain prebuilds are prone to having to change your PSU. COUGH Cyberpower PC COUGH COUGH.

[@BlindWind9]

Thank you Brad! This video was very helpful for a first timer replacing my psu and your instructions were presented in a very clear manner. 10/10, well done sir

[@OrphanHart]

I just wish there were more close ups and highlights when talking about certain parts rather than being zoomed out the majority of the time. This is okay for help, but for someone who's a visual learner like myself I would have appreciated seeing each part being plugged in rather than seeing most of it from the back and in super speed up mode.

[@eleos_22]

thanks im upgrading my psu 2 years after i built the computer. this helps me remember everything

[@froot3839]

Thanks, my PSU got busted because of a power outage. I was able to replace it with your guidance

[@Jaylou88]

That’s why it’s good to invest in a power conditioner

[@LuccianoNova]

@@Jaylou88how many watts do you recommend for a 650w psu. Also which brand. Tbh never hears much about conditioners for PC. Only musical instruments/consoles.

[@Jaylou88]

@@LuccianoNova yup, that’s exactly what I have. It’s a rack style for music studios that mounts on my desk. It’s made by Furman 8-x2. They also make another that for household use and it works exactly the same but it’s a bulky boy. Hope this helps

Thank you for your clear instructions Helped me to change out my old power supply earlier today 😊

[@Recapsulate]

now that i'm upgrading my power supply I see that it wasn't an 850 as advertised. It was a 700. Damn, that explains a lot.

[@fabianespinoza3245]

Was your pc freezing/crashing because of that? Because thats what im dealing with currently

[@hadifelani]

4:32 and this is why using cable twisters and/or velcros *are way more convenient* for these kind of things. Unlike cable ties, they're _almost_ unlimitedly resuable.

[@Rinky.]

Thanks i wanted to know because i was changing it for a 1000w PSU For my 4090

[@xkristoferx]

This was so helpful. Thank you very much for posting this.

[@drabent99]

Best vid bro, think I'm going to be lazy and just keep old cables:p

[@AntiEverythingg]

The cord powering the motherboard literally won’t come off and I’m afraid to use a little force

[@BaldBadger]

Don't be afraid pinch that cord and pull even wiggle it a little. I use by other gander to brace the motherboard down to keep it from bending. Most people here couldn't snap a pcb if they tried lol.

[@darkjediorder1412]

I will be attempting this next week when I buy a new power supply. I just upgraded my GPU after old card ceased to work. turns out the new card needs 550w and my supply at the moment is 500w. have no idea if my current supply is modular or not yet. question I have is will a new power supply come with the needed cables or will that be extra purchases necessary?

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

Useful. Isn't it better to test it powers up before managing cables ?

[@SodziausPilietis]

Thank you good sir, I was afraid to remove it

[@tonkaGuy888]

Very clear and easy to follow steps. Thanks for posting.

[@gamerbros1268]

I was wondering like if I should go to best buy for them to put parts into my PC or should I go somewhere else?

[@Rick_Sanchez_Jr.]

Of course. Make a power supply shroud for the looks but not take into account that it will now be more difficult for the user to take out or put in the PSU...

[@AntonyYTube]

It takes 10 seconds to unscrew it kid.. seek therapy

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Nice I'm gonna be doing that very soon with a new high end psu since my current psu is making a clicking noise when ever i load a game or exit a game which is totally weird!

[@jackiebiskan4748]

that can just be the fan if you are willing i would take apart the psu and clean the fan that should fix the sound i had to do the same this

[@TaiwoYemz]

​​@@jackiebiskan4748 My pc was getting loud when playing games on steam and riot client like valorant. Plus they also crash or restart the pc while playing. So I decide to clean inside the psu and after screwing back in. It won't turn on. What do you recommend doing

[@ATLWood13]

Geek squad actually knocked this job out for me for $39.99 and only took like 2 hours! Just fyi if you're like me and open the case and realize you'd rather not tangle with all those wires😉

[@philthyphil1017]

That's not too bad to be fair if you have the money.. some places will charge much more. I would have probably done that as well at some point but being broke all the time kinda forced me to learn to build stuff. I'm glad about it now because I gained the skillset however back in the day I wasn't too thrilled at first.

[@Cedb2325]

I wish I would’ve saw this before I opened mine Lmfao

[@d3admaub938]

I think I might do this cuz replacing the power supply is literally rewiring the whole fuckin pc which took me like 4 hours the first time I did it

[@ATLWood13]

@@d3admaub938 ya man I was superr glad I did it. But you might need to call around because apparently not all of the geeksquad locations will do it

[@Huckle777]

Meanwhile I went to geek squad and they asked for $60 and a required 2-3day hardware diagnostic for $100... Told them I'll do it myself at that point.

[@BaldBadger]

It looks hectic because pre builders put about %5 effort into cable management and buy cheap PSU. Then they shove a $2 fan hub with and max out the cheap RGB fans to attract people that think RGB=better PC and that makes a rat nest of cables. Your new cables and the mothor board plugs will be labeled so you literally match them up it's hard to do it wrong. And if you take a little time and use cable ties it will be way better than the original pre built was guaranteed 👌

[@adamfawaz1361]

Exactly what I needed

[@WellWisdom.]

Thank you. (The cable management and GPU sag are going to give me nightmares for days to come)

[@LTCBO]

I purchased an IbuyPower Y40 (I7) PC from Best Buy, Lady Lake, FL, 02 Nov 2024. I want to upgrade the PSU from the 700W that was installed on it, to a 1000W PSU. But, I need to know what type of PSU I need to purchase that can be installed in the machine. I don't know enough to buy a "modular", "semi-modular", "non-modular". I have a Total Tech program with Best Buy, so they will install the PSU, however, I need to have input back from you, regarding the type of unit I need to buy.

[@stanrosen8816]

I am trying to fix an I-Series Tower that shuts off as soon as you try to start it. I am assuming that the power supply is bad. The power supply is a High Power Model HP1-J600GD-F12S. When I looked for a replacement, there was only a used one. Can you recommend a suitable alternative model?

[@tewstews1485]

Late af but are the only things that I need to remove the cables from the psu??? cus i also have a prebuilt and I saw some wires that connect to something with audio at the lower part of the motherboard and the connector has a logo audio and usb.. idk if I should plug them out or no since I cant see if they're a part of the psu cables.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

Fantastic guide. All was going well until I found out the company I had bought the PC from wired the Power supply internally. I have no idea the name of the wires I need to buy can you tell me their names?

[@yossoup5231]

Thank so much for this video

[@Jason-mg2vj]

you said that for the video card, you should run a second cable. But how? You didn't have any space left to run a second cable?

[@gusfring8451]

He said IF the graphics card requires it. That one in particular did not require an extra cable.

[@chissoku666]

anyone knows how to fix the issue with new psu that causes pc to restart while playing games ? didnt have that issue with my previous psu before it died after 3 yrs of using it

[@Mungiez]

Do you need to ground yourself when replacing a power supply?

[@Twoheavensgaming]

Doesn't hurt too

[@Weaver85]

Im attempting this this week i got a 500 watt upgrading to 850

[@trizzztv6996]

didn’t want ur pc to catch a virus? 😂😂😂

[@Wizardnil]

Thank you!

[@slapabiker]

For me, it seems like the cpu cable(i think) Is stuck behind the motherboard, do I really have to disassemble the motherboard aswell?😢

[@MintFinkeldove]

I Have the "Model:TraceMR157i SKU:6451091" and the power supply doesn't come out that way. When I unscrewed the power supply, it just fell down inside the riveted case. There's no release like in your video. Very annoying as I am upgrading my daughters Video Card and need a new power supple for the 8 pin cord. :/

[@BAGGER24]

thank you so much

[@Lesbots12]

Thanks you very much 😊

[@ChristianNeff]

Why is this guy wearing a mask in a video... 😂😂😂

[@Hunterdandoe207]

That’s the only reason I clicked on the video lol click bait

[@Theblueace]

seriously though, why

[@flamazing718]

probably because he was in a workshop with other people

[@Im_SSJay]

Is there any trusted companies to replace it for me? This looks like a lot and i dont have a lot of information about power supplies

[@ATLWood13]

[@youngphenom1597]

So I just replaced mine and everything seems to be working except my usb c port. Which is odd, because my usb ports work. Anyone know the issue?

[@Miguelskytwins]

Can't you just disconnect the cables from the psu, swap the psu, and connect the cables to it, without undoing everything?

[@MightyMase04]

No. Unless otherwise stated by manufacturer (*some seasonic power supplies in particular*), you may never mix the cables of two different power supplies. They are not identical, and will more-likely-than-not result in PSU failure. Best case, it fries a cable or the PSU. Worst case, it fries other components, and starts a fire.

[@Miguelskytwins]

@@MightyMase04 oh ok. Thanks for the reply!

[@adriansherrod9113]

My pc has 2 boxes under that panel

[@abominablesnowman64]

oh man, I do not feel comfortable doing this but my pc keeps rebooting very often now. I'm pretty sure its the PSU.

[@silent9pc]

That is an incredibly weird choice to run a single fan radiator for liquid cooling...at that point you'd benefit a lot more from a decent air cooler. Yikes..

he skipped the parts i actually needed help on …

[@ZombieUnited]

I dont understand why we pulling out every cable out of the motherboard why not only swapping the cables from the old power suply to the new power suply

[@SuperDiscoPanada]

Okay i dont know if you already figured this out but that will actually completely fry your pc.

[@cooladi002]

dont mix match cables od different psu, it will burn down ur pc. use the cables that came with ur psu, dont reuse anything

[@ColdSteel-dz3pf]

Brad COVID ready

[@KodkyHN]

if a got a modular power suply can i just switch it with a more powerful version of it without having to replace all the cables?

[@calcariachimera]

I'm guessing you can mate, I don't know but it's kinder the point, if with the next supply you see the cables are the same, then yeah I guess
