Aurora R4 how to get Power Supply information
Hi,
Is there a way to see what PSU I have in my system? I vaguely remember it was 875W, but I want to make sure.
I cannot see any Power supply information in Alien Autopsy, AIDA64 or anywhere else I know.
I do not want to dismount the PSU, and I cannot see the brand/wattage info by just opening the case.

I finally decided to take it off and see for myself. Turned out to be surprisingly easy: just 4 screws and 1 cable.
It is indeed 875W.

I would prefer to avoid taking it off, seems horribly inconvenient.
In case this is important, the machine has the following specs:
Alienware Aurora R4 (Late 2011)
i7-4820
16gb DDR3
gtx 770
If anybody has the same pc and remembers what the psu is, please respond.

Ya, best way is to remove it and look at the large sticker on top.
Also, on the wiring-harness ... I think if all 4 video-card PCIe power connectors have voltage on them, it's the 875w. But still, if it's important to know, I would just take a few minutes and remove it and find out for sure.

I just installed gtx 980 and want to be sure it has sufficient power.
