Replace PSU?

[majshel]

Hi!

 

So I ordered 3700x that will replace my 4,5 years old 6600k, and I'm using RTX 2070 as my GPU since last black friday.

In other words both my CPU and GPU are relatively new (and expensive), but I'm still using the same PSU that I used when I first built this PC. 

 

It is a Corsair CX600M, semi-modular 600W bronze PSU, and it is as old as my 6600k, 4.5 years. 

Since my CPU and GPU became quite expensive, should I also upgrade PSU? I heard that if PSU gets faulty it may damage other components.

The CX600 is not a good PSU. OLD Design and in  terms of quality, not very good. The newer CX650 non modular is a decent PSU. Replace the 600M.

I found used Corsair RM750x bought in january 2018. It costs 900 NOK ($90) while it's around 1600 NOK ($160) in stores here in Norway. 

It got 10 years warranty so those 2 years shouldn't have too much to say, is that something that would be a good replacement?

Double forward with no DC to DC.  Essentially what the VS is today.

Great price on a great PSU, but warranty is not transferable to used parts.

I don't know how it works in other countries, but I'm pretty sure that the warranty in Norway is on an item, not user. Just like cars (?)

That means, as long as the person that is selling this PSU have taken care of receipt, I could still use the warranty.

That only applies to the first two years.  That's a law in place in the EU to protect the consumer.  And it actually allows the owner of the product to return the product directly to the store it came from, and not have to go back to the manufacturer.

 

The 10 years is the manufacturer's warranty and is not transferable.

 

Since the PSU is already two years old, it has no warranty.
