Hello and thanks for reading this.
I was using Codegen PSU 400w that was capable to supply my pc:
-I5 3470 3.2GHz
-H61M Motherboard
-2x2GB Kingston RAM
-GeForce GT 630 2GB (GF108)/Upgraded to R7 250
-1x HDD 500GB and DVD/RW

I did not had any problems but than i changed the ram to 2x4GB Hyper X,bought a new GPU Gigabyte Mini GTX 960 2GB and new HDD 500GB +Tower Cooler and LED fan.
I knew that this psu its too old and did not have any 6pin pcie so i decided to use my second new psu Goldenfield 450w/350w real.The second psu (450wpeak) could not give enough power and the pc started to shut down while gaming so i bought a new one Antec Bronze 400w.

I want to sell one of my psu's and which of these crapy psu is worth to keep and install in my second pc with G3220/H81M mobo and 4GB ram/Intel HD gpu.

The Goldenfield is modular and have 6 and 8pin pcie connectors,but its 350w only.The codegen is 400w.

Solution
I just did my research on both of those PSUs and I would get rid of both of them and not hook either one up to a PC. Look at the specs Man. Those PSUs are dangerous and can cause serious damage to a PC.

The first one says 270 watts max on the 12 volt rail the 2nd one says 22A on the combined 12V rail =264 Watts. I would think either would pop before they hit that many watts. To tell you the truth I would not have either one of those in a PC inside my house.
So I have no answer just a comment.
