    Hi all, can someone give the weight and the dimensions of the 330W psu? (in cm please)

    Actually on 240W with Alienware 17 r5, I'm planning to buy the 330W because my 240W psu is running out of juice as soon as I overclock cpu (4700mq) and gpu (980m) - blue led light switch off -.

    Can you also tell me the power consumption?

    Thank you

    I cannot provide physical dimensions.

    Power consumption will be no more than the laptop needs. If you are pushing it hard it may show over 330w. If you are just browsing it will be under 100w.

    Ok thank you. I want to know if size is really big compared to the 240w. Then I will know if it's still easy to carry.

    The 330w is the same physical size as the 210w supply. The 240w slim PSU that came with my M17x R4 is considerably smaller. I bought a second one for my M15x. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
