Does the 24-pin cable require replacement?
This power supply has very low quality and shouldn't be used in any system. It doesn't meet the required 450W capacity, as the maximum wattage on the 12V rails is only 360W. Additionally, it relies on a platform that is at least ten years old. The only recommendation from this list is the Be Quiet System Power 9. The System Power 10 is considered one of the worst branded PSUs available.
which one other do you recommend?
my specs are.
2600 ryzen 5 cpu
b450 tomahawk max mobo
rx 570 4gb gpu
lg ultrawide 29 inch monitor
1 ssd
2 hdd
2 x 8gb corsair ram 3200 mhz
in the future i might upgrade gpu or cpu, do i need 550w or 650w psu?
my earlier psu was
Corsair TX-M Series TX650M 650W Semi Modular 80 Plus Gold
but suddenly something about the 24 pin and the connectors failed i don't know how.
The Corsair is a highly reliable power supply. Is this unit older than seven years? If yes, you could potentially obtain a warranty replacement from Corsair due to its seven-year warranty.
You believe it's reasonable to request the same again.
Currently, there is no warranty since I remove the stickers to open it and verify if it receives power.
I own this device for five years now.
Anyway, it seems to be around 500 watts only.
Shouldn't I expect a model with 600 watts or more?
I've used several watt calculators and they all suggest using a PSU above 550 watts.
Even if I upgrade the CPU in two years, I might need another power supply.
So, should I consider switching to a different one?
Would you recommend any alternative within a 60-70 dollar range?
Psu cables are 99% not interchangeable, if you buy a different brand psu, well sometimes even same brand can change pinouts on different models, remember to remove all Corsair cables, the ones that are modular. Txm is semi modular, so replace pcie and sata cables the new psu comes with. High risk of shorting out otherwise because there's no pinout standards across the psu industry.
I'm examining this PSU model.
