    How do I find out how many watts my power supply is giving me, without having to search for it on the ps? (can't find it anywhere on the ps itself). If everest says, where at does it say?

    It should be on a label on the power supply itself in the same area as the input voltage and output voltages. You may have to pull the power supply out of the case to get to the label. If it is not on the label the next option would be the manufacturers website, that's if the model number to the power supply is on the label.

    Hi tonglebeak, when you have found what PSU (power supply unit) you have I can recommend a visit to this site and fill out appropriate page and discover if PSU man enough.. By filling out the appropriate boxes the site will tell you how much wattage is being used by your computer.. :)
