Some other forum, They claimed "it only has 2 years of warranty", while in reality it appears to have 5 years.

 

I assumed the v1000 was a quality PSU as it's 80 GOLD and was quite expensive.

All good I guess then?

The efficiency rating (80+ gold) doesn't inherently make it a good PSU. But it is, however, an excellent PSU.

Hi

 

In 2015 I changed my PSU because my pc had some sketchy PSU.

 

I want to upgrade my pc (CPU, MOBO, RAM) but some people tell me I have to change my PSU as well.

My current PSU is a Cooler Master V1000.

 

Is it true I should replace this too with the rest or not?

Who the hell is telling you that a V1000 needs to be replaced?

I know the rating has nothing to do with it being good. But I just thought it kinda weird what they were telling me. Thanks anyways :)
