dell optiplex 9020 mt What psu’s are compatible with a stock optiplex 9020 MT?

[Max37773]

I have a stock optiplex 9020 mt with i5 4690, stock mobo, 8 gb of ram, and 1.5tb hdd storage. I want to know what kind of psu I can get that’s compatible and are reliable. I have the 8 pin to 24 pin adapter already.

As far as I can tell, any ATX power supply will work. looking at this list, you can see some very reliable options, with letter ranks closer to A being better. If you are looking for a relatively low-wattage PSU, I recommend be quiet! pure power 11. (Amazon.com: be quiet! BN292 Quiet! Pure Power 11 400W Cases & Hardware PSUs : Electronics) It isn't modular, but it is very reliable and will last an extremely long time (and be quiet!). If you are interested in a higher-wattage PSU, I recommend pretty much A-B PSUs found in the earlier list.

Would there be any concern for compatibility? I talked with pc technician and he said that it’s better to get a dell 365w psu than get aftermarket psu just because of the modifications needed to actually use it. Im scared of it frying my motherboard

80+ White is the worst 80+ ranking, but that does not necessarily mean it is a bad power supply. The reviews seem to be positive, so I don't think it's a bad choice.

If the picture below is what your PC looks like, you'll be fine. This PC was made back when Dell was using standard ATX PSUs. You won't fry the motherboard as long as you have the right adapter, and even then almost all PSUs have failsafes (like a breaker on your house electricity) that prevent too much power from flowing into the computer.

 

 

 

 

No modifications to the system will be necessary. Here is a video you can watch to see the process of installing the PSU:

This is a very reasonably priced 700w PSU from a very good brand: (they also have a 600w version but it has a worse price/watt ratio)

One more thing, I’m on a budget and I was seeing if this is a decent one https://www.ebay.com/itm/335034305315?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=F-AmiLLESea&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=krbwmizlth6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's fine but $35 is a lot for a used entry level PSU.

No, it's bad.

That's a motherboard for 12vO PSUs. You need a 24 pin to 8 pin adapter to use a normal ATX PSU with this motherboard.

I settled on the Corsair tx750 or the Corsair rm750, lmk which is better. The rm750 is fully modular while the tx750 is not. Both of them are around 45 dollars on eBay

Are all the modular cables included?

 

You still need a 24 pin to 8 pin adapter.

Yes the cables are included and I’m planning on buying one pretty soon here. Do you know any good adapters that won’t go bad on me?

That PSU is not compatible with your computer.

Or would this be a better option? https://www.ebay.com/itm/145435375420?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q8slmemashg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=krbwmizlth6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's cheap for a reason. This PSU is missing cables. There's only one PCI-e and one CPU cable.

So the first one is better then?

Not really. It's 4 years older and more expensive. It's cheaper to buy some modular Corsair Type 4 cables if you need it.
