How to Install Computer or Gaming Computer Power Supply?

Preparing to Install the Power Supply Unit

First and foremost, it is important to ground yourself to prevent a static charge from damaging your equipment. The safest way and which gives you a minimum of mobility is the earthing bracelet. Using a screwdriver, open the computer case and set it on a flat surface with the open side up. If your box has a voltage selector, make sure it matches the power supply in your area. This step is unnecessary if the PSU does not have a voltage selector since PSUs do not operate under a wide voltage range.

After the usual checks, install the power supply unit. The power supply location is quite distinct and is most often found in the computer case corner. Remove the box, taking care to place the rear face against the inside of the box’s back, which the ventilator’s air exhaust openings can recognize. If this is a replacement, take the old standard or gaming psu apart before installing the new one.

Connect the New Power Supply

Several cables allow the connection between the power supply and the motherboard. They must be connected by size correspondence. Also, pay attention to the number of pins. If you do not manage to insert the connector, do not use force to damage the motherboard. Then connect the other peripherals of the computer with thin cables. Close the computer case and turn on the computer. The fan should come on when you press the Power On button. Finally, check that everything is working correctly. If not, repeat the process and check the connections.
