Got hold of used ZOTAC GTX 970 AMP EXTREME from a friend, hardly used, bargain price.(Big improvement from my R9 270). I currently have a Corsair VS550 PSU, which I thought would do the job. Running the GTX 970 3 days, no problem, but tonight PC has lost all power twice. Wont switch back on unless I leave it for 3 or 4 minutes. I assume it is the PSU failing? (Not that the VS550 is a very good PSU from what I have read in your forum).
I have also read on this forum that the EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 550W is a good PSU to go with my GTX 970. Being a bit of a noob, are all PSU's the same size? I have a Zalman Z3 PLUS case, will it fit ok? and, are they difficult to install - I am worried I wont know where all the connections go - any tips for fitting it, or is it get a pen and paper and note/draw where all the connectors from the old PSU went? Thanks
