Is this power supy even safe to use

[Scitesh]

I salvaged a couple of pcs added a gpu and sold it for a profit and one of  the parts that I've got  laying around is this psu.. It says 80+ bronze and it does work but is it any reliable orahuld I just chuck it for inductors and capacitors

Safe for starting fires and killing components

I wouldn't trust it with anything valuable but for maybe some office PC it should do okay.

LiteOn has(had) decent optical readers/writers (CD, DVD, etc). I don't know the quality of their PSU-s.

The one from the picture has three 12V rails and 80+ Bronze. I'd say it should be OK to use if it's not broken. Just make sure to load balance the 12V rails.

I'd not use it because no-name brand, but it's 80+ Bronze. Only up to 430W though

Scary PSU.  yes me too thought LiteOn was only DVD writers and what not I never knew they had a PSU line.  I wouldn't trust it.  Better to pay 60 bucks and get new PSU.  The ampage on the 12v is not enough.  Things will work but your risking stability and crashing issues.

Yeah 430watts is ok unless he has a massive system with top of line video card and what not.

[Fasauceome]

Use case I would apply this to would be an athlon 200GE system, and then if you upgrade to a better CPU later you can also upgrade the PSU.

Other than that I wouldn't really try putting this thing through its paces.

Lite-On a noname brand... seriously? They make MUCH more power supplies than consumer brands like EVGA or Corsair, and as an OEM they're up there with other tier-1 manufacturers like Etasis, Zippy or Flextronics. Which means they're far above lower end ones like Sirfa or Seasonic. Calling them a noname brand is equal in sense and comedy to saying Foxconn is a noname manufacturer.

 

It's a good model and safe to use.

"Lower end ones like SEASONIC"

also you missed GW, CWT, Delta, Superflower, etc

Seasonic & Super flower make some of the best PSUs (see leadex gold/plat/titanium & prime ultra titanium etc)

[Firewrath9]

OP: It should be fine for low-load (i.e. 1050 ti max)

its rated for 500W @ 50C which is pretty good.

a no name? liteon delivers these for low end HP's. they are good for what they're made for. basic pc use with like at max a midrange cpu and a low end gpu.

 

iirc i actually have one of these in my older hp pavilion

Like @jonnyGURU often says, the tier (in the industry sense) refers to the level of vertical integration of each company. I.e. how much do they make themselves vs. how much work do they outsource.

 

Lite-On, Zippy, Emacs, Delta, Flextronics, 3Y and such all belong to Tier 1, since all of their production is in-house.

Out of those you mentioned, Great Wall and CWT belong to Tier 2, since they partially outsource some components. Again @jonnyGURU can provide more details.

Super Flower and Seasonic from your post are referred to as Tier 3, since they outsource even their PCB-As to other companies, and may only do final assembly in-house (and even that can be outsourced).

great explanation... I'll add a bit more

 

you might know companies like fsp, superflower and seasonic who sell their own psus to consumers. but there also are companies that just buy a known design. the cxm for example isn't a unit fully made by corsair, rather by cwt

 

and dell and hp PSUs (mostly delta and liteon) are made on the pc it's in. and it will work for long on that use, but not much more

It was a pretty good PSU at its time.

If I read the Label correctly, that PSU is around 6 Years old.

The PSU itself was fine at its time.

By todays standards its probably at the lower end, very likely group regulated so not desirable...

If you never heard about LiteOn, you shouldn't talk like that because someone who might heave hard about LiteOn, who are mostly known for making optical drives for example for consoles and are just not known for consumer products anymore...

RLY?!
You call LiteOn a "NoName" Brand?! 

Sorry to bring you the news but you have no idea about PSU Manufacturers, because according to that statement, Continental and the Robert Bosch AG are NoName Manufacturers.

No, they don't.

The "Best PSU" are reserved for server grade, often double PCB PSU like Antec Signature or the last known consumer unit: Antec High Current 1200W (the gold one) and other SERVER/Workstation PSU.

 

My two NMB (=Minebea) PSU are more "the best" PSU (for its time) than any Seasonic ever was. One even seem to be a digital PSU and controlled by a PIC16...

 

Its not just about the technical specs that can be measured with Electronic loads.

Seems to be a common modus operandi at LTT.  Someone is ignorant about something but posts anyway because they like getting a higher post count.  Then they report you to the admins for calling them ignorant. 

 

BTW: "ignorant" is not an insult. It simply means that you don't understand something.

Damn I didn't expect THE jhonny guru would reply to one of my threads.. Also my main pc used rm650x on i7 6700k and 1070 ti.. Should I upgrade?

And it's a fairly new lite-on, from an expensive ACER. It's going to be more than fine.

6 years is fairly new??
I'd say its early 2013, according to the label...

Looking at 80plus, it was certified on 13/12/2017. Also, googling PS-7501-5, it's used in Acer Aspire and Predators with 6th and 7th Gen i7s, and GTX 1000 series (including GTX 1080ti's).

No.  Why would you?
