[Pakwarrior]

hi guyz i own this psu back in 2 years ago and its working great in all conditions winter and extrem summer and also in full load with rx 470 back in dayz but now i am going to buy 970 which i think it will handle perfect but i wanna know cuz i cant fin this psu on online with this same sticker on psu shown

 

even if it is copy 

it has no heat issue 

no power fluctuating 

and no weird sounds

What makes you think it's fake? The fact that you see the same product for sale online?

 

Nothing about it makes me think it's fake, right down to the TT warranty sticker. That said, that PSU is pretty terrible, and I'd be thinking about replacing it in the near future.

It's not a copy, but it's a lot older than two years.  This thing is over 10 and wasn't that good to begin with.

That is a Thermaltake TR2 600W, released on 2 March 2011. It's only 80 Plus Bronze and a bad to mediocre unit overall. They also released a TR2 S and TR2 Gold version back then, but they not that much better. I suggest you upgrade your PSU if you plan to get new parts.

Yes, even if it was 2 years old, it's pretty old already. Thermaltake makes good and bad PSUs, but unfortunately most models they have are not that good. They are average at best, but they can work fine work a long time if they are not combined with too heavy CPUs or GPUs. Normally the advice is to replace old PSUs with more recent ones, because they have wear and tear, but you can also try to use it until it reaches the end of its life.

I think it will work okay with a GTX 970, because it's a bit older already too, just like the PSU. 600W is also enough in most cases. The worst case is that the PSU cannot handle it and your PC won't start. The chance of the PSU dying during gaming is possible too, but very slim.

no. the worst case is that the pc will shutdown when handlin power hungry scenarios.

 

you can probably start a pc with rtx 3090 and generic 300w psus using all sort of adapters, but it wont run it further than the desktop

I also mentioned that one later on, that's indeed the worst case, when in use with high power.

True, it will be only fine in the desktop. A system with a RTX 3090 will be maybe around 50W idle, but you couldn't game with it, even if you would undervolt/underclock it.

The RTX 3080 (FE) for example, it draws 320W under load. Technically it could run a system and game on it using a 400W PSU, but it's realistically not possible because there are no high end 400W PSUs that can handle the high power draws. Minimum is 550W for a high end one.
