If it doesn't have a fan, it probably cant output 500 Watts unless it is 80+ gold or above. it would generate too much heat.

if it lies about the output rating, it cant be good.

I have a really crappy offbrand chinese 500W power supply. In my system currently, I am running an i7 4820k water cooled, 32GB DDR3, 2 7.2k rm HDD's, and a gtx 750. My graphics card sucks. So I am upgrading to a GTX 1060. According to some PSU calculators, my minimum wattage I should have for my PSU is about 450Watts. Since I have 500, I dont know if I need to upgrade. It is a very crap power supply and doesn't even have a fan, so I'm unsure. Thank you for any advice/opinions.

Definitely wanna upgrade. Check out the PSU tier list in my signature and grab something at least tier 3.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
