    Hi !

    My power supply 300 watts is not enough to play the recent demanding games (Far cry 3 BF3 etc...) It just quit during the game...

    Is a more powerful PS existing for X7200 ?? I have dual 480m gtx and i970...

    Thanks a lot !

    There is a dual PSU adapter allowing two 300W PSUs to power the machine at once.

    With double GTX 480m and a 6-core Gulftown CPU, you need 2x daisy-chained PSUs.

    This: Clevo Laptop Parts :: X7200 :: Power Converter Box - R&J Technology, Clevo Barebone Notebook kits, Laptop and desktop system builder

    Clevo Laptop Parts :: X7200 :: 300W AC adapter for X7200/P180HM/P370EM - R&J Technology, Clevo Barebone Notebook kits, Laptop and desktop system builder

    Should solve your problems. RJTech is reputable and ships internationally, but it's up to you where you get the power box connector and 2nd PSU.
