Q: PowerMac G5 - Dual Core - Late 2005 - Replacement PSU options

Hello discussions,

The specifications for the last model Dual-Core G5 confirms:

Dual 2.0/2.3 - 450W Power Supply
Quad 2.5 - 550W Power Supply

Would 450W or 600W Power Supply units from previous G5 models work in the Late 2005 model?

Thanks for any advice/suggestions you can provide.

Cheers, R.

PowerMac G5 DC 2.0•16GB•7800GTX512•2x500GB, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G4/DP125•G4/466•G3/300•G4/PISMO•LCI/II/III•5500•6100•7300•8100•580CD•CLASSICII..

    PS. My Quad does indeed have a 1K PS.

    Thanks for your reply, agreed, my figures were way out.

    I got the details from Mac Tracker and also here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24037?viewlocale=en_US

    So it appears I've mis-read or don't understand it - power consumption vs. actual power supply output - obviously above my understanding of such things.

    Either way, 710W for 2.0/2.3 models and 1000W for the Quad is right on the money. The 2.0/2.3 models being able to use the 1000W PSU if required.

    +Part: 661-3737+
    Power Supply, 710W for Dual Core 2.0ghz- 2.3 ghz.
    Delta DPS-710BB A (614-0368) , ACBEL API5FS17(614-0367)

    +Part: 661-3738+
    Power Supply, 1000W for Quad Core 2.5Ghz. Also for Dual Core 2.0ghz- 2.3 ghz. ACBEL API4FS13 (614-0384, 614-0373)

    Cheers, R.

    Yep, it/they use a lot more starting up than once running.
