Is This Okay?

CommanderAlex · August 31, 2016

So I have been on the fence about getting a new power supply as the one I have is now 2 1/2 years old and the warranty time will be out at the end of this year. The power supply is a Corsair CX750. I didnt have any crashes or any sort of issues other than noticing that there now is coil whine from my Graphics Card when at 100%. I decided to take a look HWmonitor and this is what it shows. Is this perfectly fine or should I go and buy a new Power Supply(EVGA G2 850)?

I used his Tier List before and the one I chose was from the list at Tier 1.

Hows is this?

Couple things here: one the CX750 has never been a "tier 1" unit so whoever's list you were looking at was a bit funky and two, the one linked by @Blackhole890is my first.

So, let's start off with never use HWMonitor for voltage as it's always wrong. Check.

So it looks like you have a GTX 1070. I'd say there's no reason to get an 850W EVGA G2, let alone for two 1070s, so if you're gonna stick with one for the time being then an EVGA 650G2 will work just fine. If you want to grab another 1070 later then the 750W is fine.

I meant the EVGA G2 series was Tier 1 as that was what I was thinking about before @Blackhole890 mentioned the list.

Ok, thank you so much for clarifying with HWMonitor and the voltage. Also, I have good faith in you for answering my question(as you seem to know a lot about Power Supplies).

Thanks for the help guys.
