Is this PSU good? (Secondhand)

Go to solution Solved by DemionicGin,

One cannot say for certain if it is safe or not. It all depends upon the usage pattern of the previous owner and the total uptime it has faced.

 

And I have heard people say that you can test PSU by measuring the voltage of the rails. But I dont know anything about that.

So, I guess there is no way to tell for sure. So, run it until it works. :D:D

Idk if u can see on the outside if theres something wrong with a psu. But if u can. Is There something wrong with this psu or is it safe?

I wouldn't get a used PSU. Too sketchy and likely to break something.

i5-8600k, MSI Z370-A Pro, 2x 8GB DDR4-3k, MSI Gaming X 1060, NZXT S340, 2TB HDD, 750w Corsair PSU, AOC 2775 OC'd to 80Hz and CFG73 at 144hz

That's a great PSU... why not just include that in the original post?

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