Apart from my Coolermaster Stacker and my Creative Fatality sound card I guess my PSU is the oldest part of my PC and whilst it has done me proud I'm starting to think it might be struggling a bit.
I've had a few cases where the overclock has failed when my PC reboots. Powering the PC down before starting again usually deals with that though so I'm not 100% sure what causes that. I've also had some weird gfx bugs which develop sometimes that look a bit like artifacting when a gfx card is dying or overheating but it's a new card which runs at a normal temp. Again this issue is cleared when powering down and restarting and I have seen people reporting similar issues online that disappeared after a new PSU was installed.
The PSU dates from 2006 I think and is a 620W Corsair modular PSU but can't remember the model exactly.
Currently it powers the following:
Newish O/C bundle from OCuK (2600K @ 4.6gHZ with Asus P67 Sabretooth and 4GB Ram)
MSI GTX 470
Random old 320GB hard drive
3x Samsung 1TB drives
1x CD/DVD drive
Random USB devices
2x 120mm fans
1x 80mm fan
Is a 620W PSU still more than enough for that?
