Selecting a Compatible Power Supply for MEDION AKOYA P67011 with ECS B360H4-EM Motherboard

[tdeey]

I own a MEDION AKOYA P67011, equipped with the standard motherboard: MB ECS B360H4-EM DDR4 S1151.

I am in the process of upgrading my graphics card and, consequently, require a higher wattage power supply. How can I determine which power supply will be suitable and compatible with my motherboard?

Current PSU: Fortron FSP450-60EMDN 0W EU/AU EUP2014

Current Graphics Card: Nvidia GF GTX1060 V2 VGA

MSN: 1002 2542

Hi there @tdeey ,

Before we can discuss what power supply you would like to purchase we need to determine the reason that it would need to be upgraded.

Whilst it may seem that upgrading your graphics card would need you to increase your power input this is not always the case as modern graphics cards are getting more power efficient than older ones.

Your current power supply is handing out around 450W. Using the website I have linked below can be a great way to work out how many watts your device should need.
