Posted April 5, 2020 I currently own a LC-Power 560W 80+ Silver Power Supply. (Sales guy offered it to me when i was building my first pc 2 years ago and i didn't quite know much about PSUs so i decided to take it because the price was really ok and the specs seemed alright.) Btw: the PSU is really quiet, you can't even hear it when your head is next to the pc case, the only thing i hear are the case fans and the cpu fan. link: https://www.lc-power.com/en/product/pc-power-supply-units/gp3-series/lc6560gp3-v23/ My PC Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (non-oc, Wraith Stealth cooler) RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 3200 MHz G.Skill Ripjaws V GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 1050 Ti (i am planning to upgrade to a 1660 Super or a 1650 Super, it will depend on if i either i have to get a new PSU or i if don't) SSD: 120GB Gigabyte HDD: 1x 2TB, 1x 1TB, 1x 500GB(my old HDD from the first PC i bought) So SHOULD i or SHOULDN'T i buy a new PSU since the specs of this one are like head to head with the CX550 from Corsair? Specs are in the pictures down below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 5, 2020 6 minutes ago, maxdei said: *snip* Also, the company LC Power is barely existent online which could mean that it's just a brand to sell some chinese power supplies so if someone sues them they can just dissolve. To that may I add is that there is non existent customer support or a contact number that I can actually find, the only thing that comes up is for some electric company that is completely unrelated. Suing might work on other companies but not this one at least from my point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 470W on the +12V rail. That does NOT make for a 560W PSU. That makes for a 500W PSU at the most. 3. Topology is double forward and it does not use DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V rails. 4. Sleeve bearing fan. 5. All Chinese caps. Not a PSU I would ever suggest using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
