It's not going to literally explode, but it's not good quality and PSUs have been known to take components with them when they die.

Posted February 3, 2018 240w is such a specific number. Most low end power supplies start off at 250 to 350w. But when then it's still a hazard. Do everyone a favor and upgrade to a power supply that doesn't scream, "I'm going to burn you and everything you love" "The only thing that matters right now is that you're here, and you're safe."

Posted February 3, 2018 You cant really replace a PSU like in my case on HP 8300 elite SFF where the HP 240w is proprietary and L shaped, you could put a bigger PSU but with an Ebay adapter for similar HP Z230 workstation with the same psu and make the bigger ATX/SFX PSU external Heres a pic of my rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.
