Hi all,
I have a M90q that originally shipped i5-10500T CPU and a 65w power supply. I recently upgraded it with an i9-10900 and a 135w power supply.
On post I get this message:
"The connected AC adapter has a lower wattage than the recommended model"
which does not stop the machine to boot and work, apparently, normally.
From spec sheets I see that this model also support a 230W power supply
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre_M90q/ThinkCentre_M90q_Spec.PDF
but I was assuming that the 135W one was enough given the 65w TPU of this CPU
Is the 230W really necessary? This review from STH
https://www.servethehome.com/lenovo-thinkcentre-m90q-tiny-review-10-cores-in-a-1l-pc/4/
says that their i9 unit (albeit 10900T and not just 10900) came with a 135W power supply.
Is it safe keep it running with this power supply regardless the message? Better move up to 230W?
Thanks in advance.
