hi,
I have 8 years old system with Cooler Master GX 550W psu. My Radeon HD 6850 died recently. Planning to buy Rx 570 4 gb or 1050ti. Issue is that (past 1 month) PSU fan sometimes spin very fast for 2-4 secs & makes noise, I can hear it from another room. I am worried, is it dying, will blow up, motherboard components burn/fail etc ( no warranty left :) . Is it a good time to upgrade my PSU ? I know 1050ti draws less power, but comparatively 570 is better in terms of power. Will be using system for gaming & video rendering (please don't suggest Ryzen or FX 8350, I CAN'T)
My specs:
phenom ii x4 955
Asus M5a88V Evo
Cooler Master GX 550 psu
212 Evo
kingston 2x2gb DDR3 1333
1 HDD, 1 SSD, 1 DVDRW
