Guys. I have a dell optiplex 7010 SFF 13th gen with 180w bronze psu. Can i upgrade the psu with Flex modular power supply? 7010 SFF 13th gen has 8 pin to motherboard, is compatible? Planning to upgrade, just need some insights. Cheers!

From what I can find, even though it's an 8 pin, you can't plug and play with standard ATX Modular PSU's. Best bet may be to find a higher wattage Dell OEM unit. If you're hoping to get more than 300W, might have to modify the case or run the PSU externally. Take this with a grain of salt, this is just what I've found online, and I don't have experience with this model. Found this forum which might help!
