kojack Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I was doing some reading and found this power supply and converter cord for my XPS. Think it would work? The PSU unit. TX700 Gold (silverstonetek.com) The converter cable Amazon.com: COMeap 24 Pin to 6 Pin ATX PSU Power Adapter Cable for Dell Motherboard with 6 Pin Port 13.3-inch(34cm) : Electronics It's the same size, and I am thinking about putting a newer video card in to be able to run macOS hack. I am planning on using either the 6800 xt or 7900 xtx if there is opencore drivers available for it. 1 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fox Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Silverstone products are generally decent. It may not be adequate for a GPU of that caliber. Unless you downgrade the GPU you will probably need three of these. The info in the description seems to conflict with the chart. It has either one or two.

kojack Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 6800xt it is. I have the 2070 super in there now. I am thinking of moving to Radeon for a card so I can run macOS when I want. I cannot hackintosh my dell on a dual boot now because of the card. 6800 is the highest performing card that is officially working with macos. I will think about this some more and see which direction I will go. 1 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojack Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 I checked on the big store in the sky, and the PSU is 337. The connector cable is 23.99. That could be just what I am looking for to upgrade my GPU!

kojack Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 What about this? Think I could get the PSU out of this system, and install in mine?
