Product: OMEN 870-130VS

I just purchased the OMEN 870-130VS. It has 32 GB's of ram, a 1080 graphics card, and an i7 processor, all the best you can get at this point in time and truly a kick ass computer! except one thing... it comes with a 500w power supply. Now I think the people at HP would have thought this through because they know a lot about computers, but it is widely known that most rigs with graphics cards and ddr4 ram require a minimum of about 550 watts. with the 32 GB's of DDR4 and a 1080 graphics card I have a hard time believing a 500w power supply will suffice before running into problems. Now comes to my next problem, i understand what I purchased and I am fine with it, but what kind of power supplys can I buy without breaking my warranty? I can't find a single one on the website and would like to get one right away so I can avoid any type of problems, that I believe would almost certainly come with such a small power supply. Any experience, help, or answers to sway my worries elsewhere??

@carrickOMEN, welcome to the forum.

 

I don't believe that you will have any problems with the PSU.  HP has their motherboards and other components made to their specs.  Therefore, all of the components are meant to work with one another.  From what I see in the specs I don't believe that you will be upgrading anytime soon.  As you said, you have the best there is to offer. (I am jealous!)  I would be interested hearing how it works for you when gaming.

 

If you do decide to upgrade the PSU, you can use any standard ATX model.  It will not void your warranty if you do no harm.  I like Corsair products.  They make good PSU's that provide clean, stable power.

Much appreciated on the well pieced reply!

 

While I do believe these were put together with all things in mind I believe I would be best off getting a better power supply still.

 

Will these one be acceptable under warranty https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HA3RGE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ? 

 

I had corsair power supplies in the past as well. Great stuff.

You are very welcome.  It is my pleaure.

 

The PSU in the link should work fine.  One thing that you might consider is a modular PSU.  They allow you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This will allow for better airflow and will help your liquid cooling.  In the past they were not as reliable, but that has changed.

Before I give ya the solution points! I just want to make sure that the one linked is under warranty! I will be getting it professionally installed so the extra wires shouldn't be too big a deal.

It looks fine.  Just remember one thing when buying a PSU, it is the backbone of the computer.  I have to admit that I am not very familiar with EVGA PSU's.  I like their video cards very much, however.
