Area-51m R2, shipped with two different power adapters
So at last, can we use Area-51m R2 with 1x240W and 1x330W or can we use it with 2x330W or the top configuration is 1x180W and 1x330W?

Hi crimson. It is a great article,but it is for a51m r1 and my question is about r2. My mistake I didn't explaine well. It is 10900k processor and rtx 2080. The thing is I read some have 1x240 and 1x330 adapters and other 1x180 and 1x330. So do I louse if use 180 and 330 . Or can I use 240 and 330 without damage the laptop cause it is too much

The laptop can't really be damaged because its just recieving power and will only draw whats needed.
Now if you were using a 130w adapter or 180w by itself you might cause a brown out which is when you use too low of a current or voltage and wattage.

The online Area-51m R2 Setup and Specifications PDF shows the three power adapters that can be used. We never shipped a configuration with two 180W power adapters. In "real time" gaming, you will never see a difference between 180W + 330W and 240W + 330W.
