Power Supply Modding?

[ThatBlockishWay]

How would I go about modding a power supply to handle higher wattages? Is it a matter of changing a capacitor or something more complicated?

Edit: This is just a fun project with some really generic old parts

don't... just don't...

you're messing with the most important part of your pc, and new higher wattage ones aren't expensive.

well, it isn't getting better. I keep by my recommendation for different reasons.

1; it's dangerous and can cause fire, explosions and many more

2. I never did and am never going to do psu mods

a PSU has many components and stages before it gets to the output, it's not just only capacitors.

 

and honestly if you don't know anything about electronics then don't do it, you're playing with high voltage and complicated stuff, if you're interested in those kinds of things then start with something simple

Can you send my a link to a good place to learn this stuff?

just don't do it, it's not possible to adjust voltage by much anyway.

but if you want to learn.. well these would not help u since you lack the basics
