I didn't know much about the reputation of this PSU until recently, when I discovered it was a poor F tier unit. It needs to be replaced right away. I've been using it with my RX 6650xt now, and I'm really concerned about the card and other parts of my PC. I have a 700GD EVGA PSU from last time in my closet (the one that failed was probably the PSU). Should I replace it immediately? It's still working, but I bought it on Ebay.

though it might be a better choice, i wouldn't really rely on a used power supply.
it's possible it was simply upgraded and sold, but you can never be sure if it caused problems with the previous owner or if any warranty is still valid.
just take it out of service for now and buy something more dependable.

It seems there might have been a misunderstanding about the condition of the item. Even if it was open box rather than used, it's still worth considering replacement.

if it also covered any manufacturer warranty, proceed.

N1 ranks among the poorest power supplies. Nearly all other PSUs perform better than an EVGA N1.
