Posted January 21, 2021 Bought a second hand computer and saw this PSU on it. Does anyone have info on this PSU? so far it was working, but the GPU was too old gtx 580 battlefield edition, and started making some artifacts though I haven't been using it for games, just ms office and chrome. I'm planning to upgrade the GPU anyway, maybe 1660 super or 1660 ti (as long as it is nvidia) to lessen the load as well. question is, is it safe to use with new GPU? if not or not sure, any recommendations that are not too expensive? im running dual xeon 2670 on huanan x79-4d, 32gb ecc ram, HDD. also planning on adding more ram and m.2 ssd in next few months just for the heck of it (does it really add anything?) im not really a techy guy thats why i bought a second hand computer. thanks!

Posted January 21, 2021 Looks like a dying gpu and a trash PSU. I would get a new one. I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build.

I saw corsair has 10 years warranty, is the 600w model enough? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't buy by brand either, Corsair makes bad parts as well as good parts. How much are you looking to spend? What Corsair model were you originally intended to buy?
