Hi guys, is ELT500AWT enough for rig in my signature? Shoul I be worried or replace it? The unit has 7-8 years(2 years not used at all from that time).
 
Your siggy is gone again. We are only allowed 4 lines of text and I believe you had at least 6.

As to the psu, It has 456w across dual 12v rails so should be enough. However, it's very old now and the caps degrade over time so I doubt if it's capable of outputting that much now. Personally I would replace it. It's had a good run and psu have moved on in efficiency by quite a lot since your was released. I presume you wish to stick with a modular unit so take a look at these:-

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA Supernova GS 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £76.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 750W "80 Plus Gold" Semi-Modular Power Supply - Black £74.99
1 x EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £74.99




If you can live with hard wired cables then:-

YOUR BASKET
1 x Antec TruePower Classic 650w '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply £68.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £62.99
1 x Antec TruePower Classic 550w '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply £59.99

I hope now is everything OK with my signature. Couple days ago I made snap decision and order cx750m. Will that be good upgrade, or should I return it?
 
Why dead set on Corsair? They got established with high quality units and then cheaped out with lower quality oem's. The CX series are poor and use low quality internals. You have been recommended plenty of better alternatives in your two threads.

Your siggy still needs to lose a bit as it's just into 5 lines long now. Just lose the OS bit and you are fine.
 
I order that corsair before I register here. I was doing some research after buy and came across this forum. I just thought that it is going to be good upgrade over mine ELT500AWT
