Bought in 2007 - I hadn't even realised that I had been using it that long and it's been running perfectly.
Q. But is it still a good idea to carry on with it?
Q. Are there newer features that should make me consider buying a new one in 2019?
Here's the review in 2006:
https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/Corsair-HX620W-Modular-Power-Supply-Review
Running on the rig in Sig..on an I7 920 @3.66 GHz and a Radeon 7970GHz edition (@1050/1300) - so sucking a fair amount of power.
Essentially I'm asking because, clearly, it's coming up to time for an upgrade and I don't want to be caught out with the power requirements for a new system.
Thing is, from what I'm seeing, power draws a far lower than they were when I built my system in 2010 (used the PSU from previous build).
Would be grateful for any opinions
Cheers,
