Those old CX units are pretty bad. If you can still return it, switch it for a XFX TS or a new CXM model (they have grey stickers and come in 450. 550, 650 watts).

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Also get an aftermarket CPU cooler so you can overclock the CPU!

 

Try one of these:

Deepcool Gammaxx 400

CM Hyper 212 EVO

Noctua NH-U14S

NH-D14 or D15S
