ok,a few days back,i got a low branded psu of 500W for this rig:
intel c2duo e4500 2.2ghz
sapphire hd 5670 512mb
intel dg33fb motherboard
2 gb kingston ram
1 250gb seagate hdd
1 dvd writer
1 simple case fan
it delivers:+3.3V-25A,+5V-25A,+12V1-17A,+12V2-17A,
as indicated by it's cheap price,you can assume that it may be 60% efficient atleast,now calculating,3.3V@25A=82.5W,
+5V@25=125W,totaling,207.5W,+12V@17A x 2=408W,NOW if it's 60% efficient,it delivers 300W at full load...
NOW the problem is that it's heating up while playing games,i bought it a month ago btw,and working normal while doing other works.....
SO is it a sign that it's dying?
