I'm currently using a Xigmatek NRP-PC702 700W, by far the oldest component in my PC (5-6 years), and i'm wondering if I should be worried at all about reliability when it comes to overclocking. Based on reviews the unit itself seems solid enough by 2010 standards, I'm mostly just concerned about it's age. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k
Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC 8GB
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 4x4GB
PSU: Xigmatek NRP-PC702 700w
Case: NZXT Phantom 410

Seems some rave about the reliability of this PSU, and some not so much. If it has been reliable for you this long then I would say why not give it a try. You can monitor all the power and voltage rails during OC'ing.
