Question 1

Does this power supply have two 8-Pin CPU connectors?

Accepted Answer

Hey James, this PSU is very limited in what it outputs, since it is in such a small form factor. The one I have only contained a single 4-pin CPU connector. With that being said, this is a modular PSU and I bet you can buy adapters to replace the bundle I have.

Question 2

i have a Lenovo thinkcentre m91 4800 and was wondering if this will fit and work in it?
thank you

Accepted Answer

I cannot say with 100% confidence that it will not work because i could not find the information on a M91 4800. I was able to locate information on other models of M91 just not the 4800. Out of the box plug and play I do not believe it will work. The problem I had with mine was the mounting holes did not line up correctly. I believe that is the same problem you will encounter but even worse because I believe the dimensions will be off even more on the case your PC uses. I would not recommend that PSU with that particular PC. From my understanding of the information I was able to find is Lenovo small form factor PCs use a non standard size and you pretty much have to replace them with other Lenovo branded PSU or a PSU specifically made for use in that particular Lenovo model.

Question 3

Hello, I would like to ask, would this PSU fit in acer aspire x3900 box? And would I need to get some bracket to hold it in place or would it fit just fine without one. Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

I have this installed in my Gateway SX 2855 machine which looks very similar to your Acer.  I don't need a bracket since the power supply rests on the bottom of the machine.  It's not an exact fit, but it works for me.  It fits inside the tower without a problem.  However, one issue I've run into is that there are more cables with this power supply than the original and I had a hard time fitting them all into the tower and closing the side panel.  I opted to just not have my side panel installed since I'm not moving my machine around a lot.  
To sum it up, yeah, it'll fit, but not perfectly.

Question 4

can this fit into the Acer Aspire x1430g? i need 300 watts so i might as well have a little head room with the new motherboard, gpu, cpu and ram.

Accepted Answer

Seriously doubt it. Theoretically you may squeeze it in, but would have hard time fixing it in place as it was not designed for this case at all.

Question 5

Will this power supply fit in this case?: N82E16811553011 (COUGAR Mini Tower Case)

The reason I ask is because I have a 450w modular power supply in cart but I've found out it is giant wattage for my current components wattage. I place parts in pcpartpicker and I get maximum wattage of surprisingly low 124w, and power supply is 450w, so that means that in idle or normal surf will be below 20% of power supply (it is 90w) and some videos talking about power supply (ncix tech tips example) says that going below 20% can reduce significantly efficiency, so if 20% is 90 and total wattage getting is 50-60 then it may drop even to 70% or more or less efficiency.

The main reason of getting this one is because it's the only one below 400w that is modular (semi and full doesn't matter if it's just motherboard and CPU connector hocked, as it will obviously be used, some do hock unecessary SATA cables or such, but that's not the case with the 450w psu), and a very well bonus, it is gold rated, same as the 450w one.

I have this very exact case with a bigger PSU (750W). The cougar spike can support any standard ATX PSU. Buy with confidence
