Cpu Upgrade

[Joxeon]

Can you tell me what psu would be good pls that i can get.
Many thanks

I'd go for a 650w+ gold rating with a 10 year warranty preferably as that will usually mean you're getting good quality components.

Mine has Japanese capacitors on the main PCB which is supposed to be a good thing...

Plug both 6+2 pins in and you're good to go.
Your aerocool integrator 500w is actually a 450w power supply. Whilst not terrible...isn't the best either, but it'll do the job. The 1070 only uses about 160w and the cpu will use up to 120w, so it'll be safe

His PSU only has one 8 pin.

But no, wait, plot thickens, the picture he posted shows 2 x 8 (6+2) pins lol. Which PSU is it actually??

yeah that's what i saw too lol. hence i said what i said.
nonetheless, it is a daisy-chain, but with the 1070...shouldn't be too much of an issue as it doesn't draw too much power.

Absolutely. I've got the ordinary version, not the FTW, and it only pulls 130W undervolted to 0.95v and about 160W at stock as you said.

don't need to overspend. your current PSU is sufficient.

if you do want to get a new PSU then consider:

• 1 x **B Grade** Kolink Enclave 500W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £39.95

i know it's a "b-grade" but it is really stonking good value.
i've used a couple of these exact PSU upgrading my friends' computers - and I've also bought them b-grade too.

Propably at most in primary, which is less critical for safety of PC components.
More critical for output quality secondary is no doubt with second tier maker caps.

I have registered my PSU with EVGA today and uploaded my invoice so I’m covered for 5 years.
