Power problems

[mojo42]

that it has been outputting to much power for to long and it has sort of "killed" the PSU or just decreased it's performance, such as not even being able to with stand even the continuous power rating of 550W. it is prob much less now if that is what happened.

ok thanks, so best option is to use the old PSU untill I buy a new one or Buy a different GPU

What brand PSU do you have right now?

 

[Fritz]

GIGABYTE Superb 550

If I buy a new PSU what should i look at
Something with at least 1000W? and if so what brand, model, price, etc.

 

[mojo42]

well, the 1000W or maybe slighty more, would give you the best "efficiency", i'd say at LEAST a 750W and that should hold you.

Here's a good one, a little on the pricey side though, but is very efficient, and great brand.-

Here's a higher wattage one, that's still efficient and cheaper-

ok thanks but i want to compare different PSUs
anything that has at least 750w and perferably under $100
and i don't really want to order it from overseas I would rather order it from a site here in Aust
