-NEPA-Bigdog Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I bought this PSU (Corsair 1000HX) in Dec 2009. About 8 years old. Question: I have no issues with it yet, still going strong. But in 2015/2016 I upgraded FROM a i7-930 cpu, x58 mb, 2 480s SC, and 16gb DDR3 ram to i7-5930k cpu, x99 mb, 2 980s classifieds, 32gb DDR4 ram. I am wondering should I replace the PSU? Is there a need, unless it not working right? Will I benefit from a new PSU? Thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondenath Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 No NO Dont do that. Its 7 year certified PSU means it will run for another 2 years fine Did you checked with Digital meter. I had the same issue psu board was saying 11.3v but DM says 12.1v So software or PC monitor always wrong. if you have already got it i have nothing to say. but you can check with meter If it still good. Try to sell it of at good price. that is only option for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-NEPA-Bigdog Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Already got it, going to use the 1000 as a backup. But will be doing testing this weekend on it and the 1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
