Posted March 29, 2016 Motherboard is fine. PCIe is backwards and forward compatible with different revisions as of this time. What power supply are you actually using?

There's very little information available on their PSUs. Even Ewent's datasheets for the PSUs is pretty bare, with just the basic specs and connectors. No info on who the OEM is or really any internal components. Typically, a lack of information is not a good sign of quality, so I wouldn't be particularly happy to have it in my rig. No 80+ certification, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altrough the psu has been in my system for some Time now and it didn't cause problems There are many things that don't cause problems for everyone, but are still not safe. Just because it hasn't done anything yet, doesn't mean it never will. Not to say that it WILL cause issues, but given the lack of information available, it's safer to assume that it's not very good. I would advise replacing it with something better if you get a chance, but if you're short on money for upgrades, then you could make do for now.
