blackops Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I just realized I had a brand new factory sealed Corsair PSU in the attic. It's a HX650 Gold. I think it's been there since 2010. Would any deterioration have occurred through none-use or would it be safe to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 PSU should be fine, but make sure it's dust free before using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackops Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 PSU should be fine, but make sure it's dust free before using it That's good to know. It's factory sealed so no chance of dust. I read somewhere that capacitors can leak if unused for prolonged periods, hence the concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 maybe 50 years ago caps leaked but modern ones are pretty stable lot of learning into hardware of the last 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
