Most people use Speedfan. It doesn't work with all motherboards though, so I can't guarantee you success with it.

Hi,
Could you provide a link to the PSU you bought? I have a dimensions 1100 and I need a new PSU.
Anybody know if this would work? http://svp.co.uk/product/sumvision_powerx_650w_power_supply_4865
Thanks

If it were me i'd try and source a proper Dell PSU, say eBay, for example (the first link i fell upon) - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...eName=WDVW&rd=1
..as opposed to a cheapy PSU; i'm sure ddp linked some system specs further up the thread but i don't know if a standard PC's PSU would fit in your Dell. I'm no PSU expert but a 650W for £20-ish doesn't sound like it'd be much good to be honest...
Main PC ~ Intel C2Q Q6600 (G0 Stepping)/Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3/2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500/Zalman CNPS9700/Antec 900/Corsair HX 620W
Network ~ DD-WRT ~ 2node WDS-WPA2/AES ~ Buffalo WHR-G54S. 3node WPA2/AES ~ WRT54GS v6 (inc. WEP BSSID), WRT54G v2, WRT54G2 v1. *** Forum Rules *** |

Thanks for the reply.
I hear ya but the only dell dimensions 1100 PSU i have come across is a 250W like the link you posted, I need a minimum 350W.
I know the price is cheap for 650W and that i may have to McGyver it into the tower.
Its more the fact that its a "switching PSU" that has me concerned, Do you just take it out the box and plug it in the same as a normal PSU?

I bought my PSU for my Dell dimension 1100 on http://www.newegg.com They will have what your looking for.However you need to know if your case is a Micro ATX/ATX or whatever before buying your PSU.As for installing it,when your taking out your old one,take a mental note of where all the cables go on your mother board.Very easy to install,took me less then 5 minutes.Hope this helps you out some.

Sorry,here is the link to my PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104210
This is a 250w PSU and this will do just fine,no need for a 650W.Our case is a Micro Atx,so the size of this PSU is small and installing it, is easy.Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Well, EVERY, and I mean EVERY product I or anyone else has owned that was Sumvision has failed - 100% failure rate! The company's crap. Get a proper PSU or you'll pay the price.

It fit perfectly. My McGyver skills were not needed :-(

You are aware that if a cheap PSU breaks it usually destroys the rest of your system as well?

I am having a similar problem with a Dell 5150. The power light blinks slowly amber when I try to turn it on. I checked the power supply, out of the machine, and when I grounded the green wire which is pin 4 sometimes labeled P_ON everything worked as it should. When I reinstalled the power supply and shouted the P_ON wire the machine started up fine. I had to put the machine back into service so I didn't have time to do anymore testing, but the machine would not start when I brought it back out to the production floor so I had to jump the green wire again to start it.
