A lot of them were made and you may be able to find data in retrofitting modern PSUs as someone will likely have tried it.Ī 4790 is going to need a 87 or 97 series board. At that time Lenovo was still or had only fairly recently stopped building stuff for ibm so their designs would have been still influenced by that. Lenovo for that vintage is actually potentially good news. Or do you think it’s worth trying to make it work? We’re tempted to buy a new mobo for it honestly, the current one is a very different layout to the standard motherboards you buy off the shelf and pretty confusing honestly.

Especially when I have an extra 620w laying around and we just bought a case for it to fit. I just personally don’t feel comfortable running a gpu with that little headroom for power. Yeah we just double checked, it’s a 4790 (and built by lenovo I believe). The good news is there were generally a LOT of a given prebuilt made so Google if the model should produce all kinds of useful stuff. Those 16 pins won’t necessarily correspond to the same pins in a 24 pin atx pinout. The problem you’ve got with those is a lot of prebuilts were engineered as single systems and followed atx protocol only when convenient. If this is the case the only one that might matter is the model of the machine. That’s late enough it’s going to be a prebuilt from Dell or HP or something with a custom motherboard. They got hot though because it was one of the worst years for ihs TIM. 4770 should be a 65 or 83 watt or something. I’ll try to get the exact part names for you.

The pc was bought refurbished so I don’t really know it’s history. It’s a lenovo system with a i7 4700 or something along those lines, so my logic is it’s already drawing a lot. But a PSU that small with a 16 pin connector raises red flags. There were a bunch of prebuilts by different companies that used 16 pin motherboard connectors long after they had stopped seeing common use so we could be talking about one of those. I got a nasty suspicion this is some reaaaaly old equipment. We need more information about the system. There’s no specifics here so there’s little way to tell. As to whether it could be a problem or not I don’t know. You make a point about the power system though. To give you an idea of how long ago, The PSU had a new fangled feature: a variable speed fan.ĭepending on total draw a 230w PSU might possibly put up with a 1050ti because it draws so little power. It was on a coppermine cpu long long ago.
