Aurora R8, PSU upgrade
Currently running with the 460W PSU w/ High Performance Liquid Cooling. What are my OEM (or otherwise) upgrade options? Keeping in mind the interesting closing angle of the case. Looking to get up to 750W for some overhead as I moved up from a 2060 to a 2070S.

Dell oem is 850w or 1000w modular.
psu must have connector to connect to R8 motherboard GPU_PWR socket to post.
Aurora R8 validated 850W PSU =

J2GNJ 850W Huntkey Bronze HK950-11PP
48Y6D 850W Huntkey Bronze HK950-11PP

460w seems small even with a Nvidia-2060 (especially when run-up near 90% utilization).
I would suggest one of the listed Delta-made units. My Aurora-R6 shipped with a modular-cabled HuntKey 850w and it's internal fan suffered an early death (quite a hassle). The Delta-made unit has been working fine ever since I got it swapped out.
Back in the day, most of the nicer business-class and Precision desktops got Delta-made power-supplies. So there that (if you have a choice).

Most any ATX format PSU will work . . . preferably fully modular and no longer than 150mm. Note that the aforementioned required cable to connect to GPU_PWR motherboard header must be EPS 8-pin; and not PCIe 8-pin.
