Power Supply Wattage inquiry

[LadYKilleR8520]

---

naa koy karaan nga FSP 230W nga powersupply... working pah gihapon cya.. pero nagplano ko magchange ug mobo+procie..

akong gicalculate ang Minimum PSU wattage using eXtreme Outer Vision - eXtreme tools for computer enthusiasts ang iyang result is
minimum of 197 watts kay wala man q plano butangan ug video card, kay sa ako lang man ning manghud ang unit..

If branded tingale ang PSU like Silverstone, Corsair or Coolermaster mkasalig rah tingale ko nga 230W lang ang ako gamiton para ani nga unit.. problema lang kay ang brand sa PSU is FSP...

Makasalig rah ba ko aning FSP? makaya rah ba kha ni niya ang load sa upgrade?

Thanks daan guys

How old is that psu? You have to factor in capacitor aging relative to age..

[LadYKilleR8520]

5 years give or take.. I recalculated the power consumption of the old setup it was running.. mas dako ug power consumption ang old kaysa sa new.. I think ok rah.. boss explode thanks sa history lesson.. wala q kabalo anah.. hehehe.. I trust Silverstone.. so ok rah gyud tingale ning FSP

Use around 20-25% capacitor aging

You Can't Go Wrong With Those Brands Unless There is So Called "Factory Defect".

I don't think ing.anah kadako ang percentage sa capacitor aging sa ani nga case.. kay ang CPU is 5 years old pero na.standby cya for almost 2 years.. m.affect lang ang capacitor aging if nagcge ug gamit? or maskin tambay m.taas ghapon cya?

3 years ra gyud. Around 10-15% lang..
