guys, can i ask for your opinion on this.. i just bought a new MOBO, currently connected to it are 2 HDD (IDE), 1 DVD RW (SATA), integrated video card and processor. now the power supply unit that is currently installed on it is a 300W PSU, generic and is currently 5 years old. had it installed for about 4 days now. no problem with regards to the PSU but is it advisable to buy one? since i just bought a brand new MOBO just to be sure. if ever im going to buy one it would just be the generic PSU about 500-600W not the branded ones. or should i just use my old one which is already 5 years old. of course im not a hard core user of the processor. if advisable which generic brand do you recomend? thanks for the advise! blue_kia is online now Edit/Delete Message
If your setup is working with no problems currently, I dont see why you would have to buy a new powersupply at the moment. If you intended to upgrade, you probably will have to in order to run a newer video card or processor. Am not sure about generic brands of PSU's, the last 2 i have bought were a thermaltake brand and the other was a pc power and cooling. Have had no problems with them so far
