sounds like you could do with a new one.. whats the specs of the system the new one will powering?
I don't know yet ha ha
I know new hardware is a lot more power efficient than it used to be though so thought it would still be up to the job !
I will get a new one !

why say buy that when you dont even know his specs of what he wants? he might want a 3090 i9 etc.
well my budget is 1000 to 1500 depending on whether the extra is worth it !
i want to play games at 4k if possible ! but probably most of them at lower res high fps ...
i have another tread for the spec me though !

He should opt for the 850W model in that case and he'll have a PSU sorted for the next decade.
i think im getting an amd cpu and probably a3080 but will have a stop gap one until the availability is sorted

750w will suffice 850w gives you more options.

Probably not that psu but theres a massive thread somewhere called the Hiper explosive club, some models went off with a bang
i saw it someone linked it ha ha it was a little surprising to me ! i guess people just bought them because they look cool !
thats what i did, it looked good, and i loved the cables !

I'm in that thread somewhere, can't even remember how many Hipers i had but a few definitely died bad. Company went bust maybe a decade ago i think.
thasts what i was thinking
superflower leadex 3 850w 7 year warranty https://www.overclockers.co.uk/supe...old-modular-power-supply-black-ca-062-sf.html
phanteks revolt pro 850w which is made by seasonic 12 year warranty https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phan...old-modular-power-combo-supply-ca-08a-pt.html
thats what i would use
currently have the superflower and its awesome and not too loud
sounds like they went bust for a reason ha ha
I call that type of products as shiny outside, **** inside.
Well, that's really how most gaming products are done by putting cheap Chinese crap into shiny and fancy clothing.
true enough sadly. it clearly worked on some of us !
