Christmas 2020 is anticipated as my upgrade time and i am in a dilemma about my AX860i which has been used now for nearly 5yrs i honestly lost count of time. It powers a 4770k system at 4.3ghz and a 2080ti.
It is now a £170 psu where i paid £136. And i am not sure if i want it in my new Ryzen 4000 build. The thing is my uncles prebuilt ocuk Q6600 went boom and killed a lot of stuff inside. And thats my worst nightmare. But replacing it would cost around £150 as well. It has a 10yr warranty, But thats not much good when you need to wait like a month+ and what if it killed the base.
What do you think? My gut says sell the old base intact and suck up the cost of a platinum 850w. But it will mean waiting until March 2021 but i am content to wait as well.
