moonedyou got a reaction from Bananasplit_00 in Safe to use lower watt PSU? (laptop)
yeah I noticed it charges kind of slow and downclocks the cpu, gpu when trying to game. good I don't want it to blow up in my face while im using it lol and hopefully the psu ratings are similar enough to where it wont cause any negative effects whatsoever, I just got this laptop lol
I hope that's the only thing and nothing serious lol

The battery can only discharge at a certain rate, so it won't be able to power the CPU and GPU at full load. When power enters the laptop from your external PSU it directs some of that power to the battery for charging purposes and a majority goes directly to the components. Using a lower wattage PSU for a laptop is no different than doing the same on a desktop. You are going to fry the PSU and most likely the components in your laptop, including the battery. Why in gods name would you use a 90w power adapter on a laptop that requires double that. Desperation is one thing but jesus christ man. At best you will be able to charge the laptop while it is completely off. You should certainly find a better power adapter.

1) GPU-Z is not a precise way of computing Power Draw.
2) 480's don't comply the PCI regulations. They draw more from the Motherboard PCI slot and probably more from the 8pin.
Should you worry? No.
Worry about temperatures, or instability if any.
