Hi all,
Recently my PSU broke down, which was a HKC5550 (550watt). A relative of mine brought the pc to a store to get it fixed, and when the pc was returned it appeared the repairman had replaced it with a 300 watt PSU Xilence xp400 ( https://www.xilence.net/en/power-supplies/16 ) Since I live at quite a distance from the repairman, I didn't have the opportunity to raise this question right away. What I would like to know is whether this PSU should work fine with my system, especially since I remember buying the old PSU to specifically meet the demands of my new GPU at the time.
My current system is:
amd athlon ii 2600 (3.2 ghz) if I recall correctly
4 gb RAM
2 different HDDs
1 optical drive
MSI GTX 750
I called the repairman today and he said it shouldn't pose any problem, supposing that the pc is not used for any video games and that I will replace it soon due to it being outdated. The thing is that occassionally video games are played on this system, though they are old ones such as skyrim and far cry 3. so should i return the pc, considering the relatively low wattage and amperage of the new psu, or should it be fine for the time being? I haven't set up and tried the pc since it has returned because I am afraid the repairman will not be willing to refund if I do so.
