New Build - PSU

charles1971 · Jul 9, 2018

Hey, I’m building my new PC next week as my other one was getting a bit outdated for my needs and wanted something a bit more powerful.

I’ve read somewhere that it’s unwise to re-use old PSU? Just wondering if anyone has any insight with this? The PSU I have is Ann OCZ ZT-750 and I’ve never he any issues with it.

Any info would be appreciated

Most tend to start having problems after 5 or so years but if it's compatible with all required cables and features, it should not be a problem.

Have PSU’s changed much in the past 5 years in regards to what cables they use? Haven’t been into PC’s as much as I used to since going to Uni

Well yes, more PCIe cables as well as more connectors for MB, most MBs now use 8pin ATX and some 8+4 or even 8+8 pins. Some other have more power control etc. also some handy features like dynamic fan and output control. Also most are rated at least Bronze if not gold for power consumption.
