Hi, I got this PSU almost a year ago on a good sale, and many, many people tell me to replace it. So far I haven't noticed any problems with it. Should I replace it?

If i were to replace it, I would get a Seasonic platinum or something.

I think this was the PSU that OC3D reviewed and didn't like. (Nevermind, it was the Thortech Thunderbolt.)

But, normally you don't replace something if it works. 

EDIT: I looked at the PSU and it seems to have good reviews, so I don't see a reason why you need to replace it.

FWIW, I had a Raidmax until a few months ago. After the local power grid ran out of juice for a few seconds, the PSU adopted the habit of turning itself off and on again about once every 3 weeks. My model was a lot lower end than this one.

Rule with your heart,

And live with your conscience.
