How to tell watts on PSU? That does't say it.

[Org]

My PSU doesn't say what band/type/watts/ect it is.

I'm guessing its 300ish watts but not sure it's doing fine now but I'm going add an exact cd drive/PCI fan with a Y splitter all my 4 pin's are in use and wasn't sure it it would take it.

Is their a way to tell?

You sure it's not just being covered on one of the other sides?

It wasn't hidden I took it fully out. None thing

I just called the guys I got it from their records say its a model number HP-P3507F5 and thats all the info they had.

Googled it a bit guess its must be a Hipro 300-Watt ATX

Use that and calculate how much power you are using now.

model numbers tend to relate to the specifications of the psu.

HP-P3507F5

i would guess it's 350w, the 7 is not part of the spec but indicative of something else. i'm just guessing based on experience though .

brinks: Recommended PSU Wattage: 318
Thats with the extra cd drive/PCI IDE RAID card I plan on getting.
Didn't know my hd's rpm so I picked the highest rpm IDE one.

@nitestick: I though that too but when I googled it 99% said 300w

If it's that high, I don't recommend you push your psu to the limit. You might damage other parts if the psu does die.

HP-P3507F5, yep I did a search too and says 300watts...
