Well, my venerable 10yr old PSU has given the bucket a swift old kick. So recommendations on a replacement that is - cheap at least semi-modular [captive 24-pin/EPS 8-pin is fine] not made of depleted chinesium and/or 'splodium
Mine died after about 10 years, replaced with an 750W EVGA G3. http://www.eteknix.com/evga-supernova-750-g3-gold-power-supply-review/amp/ Hasn't missed a beat. About £93 at the moment.
Is your GPU bus powered? Because I have a modular 750W PSU with no PCI-E cables. Yours for postage, if it'll get you up and running.
No it's a Novatech Power Station 750W Black edition. It's 80 plus certified and does that fan over-run thing for a couple of minutes after you shutdown. If anyone know who manufactures Novatech's PSUs, maybe it's possible to get spare cables for it.
Having a PSU let go and taking the entire PC with it will do that to you. Tbh there were a couple times I thought this one had done it [and i'm not sure it didn't kill my last GPU],
I'm well aware of that, but my PC doesn't have a dGPU atm, it's running off the CPU's IGP. hence 'what gpu?'.
This one was powering a 7700K and 1080ti but the pcie cables got misplaced/accidentally thrown out. I fully understand the caution though
Great PSU. It was the same one OCZ used to use for their 750w Fatal1ty range. There should be a JonnyGuru review kicking around somewhere, as I used it when I bought my OCZ.
