Should I switch PSUs?

[Busconian]

In my current rig I have a 600w Thermaltake TR2 PSU.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166

I just got a quieter, semi-modular, rocket fish, 550w PSU for $5 worth of CSGO skins from a friend.

It has a larger fan to take in air as well. 140mm compared to the thermaltakes 120mm.

Rails and info in picture.

 

Specs Currently:

i5 6400

Gigabyte b150m Mobo

8GB RAM 2133

GTX 750ti

DVD Drive

2TB HDD, 500GB HDD, and a 120GB SSD.

 

Its got good reviews from what I can see, what should I do?

I'll buy a better PSU when I upgrade to a 1060.

Nice hands.

For realsies if your PC is rocking the 550w PSU without issues why change it?

I find the thermaltake PSU is very loud after 10 minutes on hardwood.

UL code points to CWT as the oem. hardware secrets says its decent, so i think you should replace the tr2 for it(tr2 is pretty shit). http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/rocketfish-550-w-power-supply-review/9/

Ive heard its horrible. It was more of a short term replacement.

wat. the psu needs to have some airflow to cool itself, make sure the psu fan isn't facing the floor.

You see, I mentionned I was retarded, you clearly did not mention any vibrations which somehow I thought were the issue, not the issue. See, retarded.

Its facing the floor, the legs on the case keeps it from touching the ground and restricting airflow.

oh. anyways swap out the tr2, the rocketfish would be better.

The Rocketfish Rocketfish RF-550WPS is a CWT DSA, which may not be remarkable but it is safe to bet that it is better than the Thermaltake TR2 TR-600

Will do...

Rocketfish is a crap brand,they were sold only as a "house" brand for best buy and The old Future shop in Canada,And I see Amazon.Not many reviews out there,however I found an interesting one from hardware secrets from 2008
