Reusing a PSU

Sean Henderson · 9 Apr 2021 at 08:47

I currently have a RM850W Corsair 5/6 Years old, Been powering my current rig since.

Could i use this for a new build, or would that be a risky move?

Definately.

The Grey label version or the Yellow label version ? The Grey label version is better, although the older Yellow label is still decent.

What is the spec of the new pc (cpu and gpu mainly) ?

It's Grey, Though i'm still at work i will reconfirm if its the RM850W or RM850X,

Ryzen 9500x - 1080TI (11GB) Will be upgrading to either the 3090 or 3080ti when they come in to stock

Sounds like you planned ahead, and about to reap the rewards.

Reuse it for sure. Have friends who have 10 year old PSU's.

Why wouldn't you use it? If something works you can use it.
