Where are my PSU pros at? My Antec power supply which was great back in the day is getting pretty damn old. But it won't stop beating on me! I don't know if i should replace it or if that's a waste of money. Bought 7 years or so ago, used 5 years. All voltages i checked were in healthy range, 12v rail goes to 11.8 at the minimum.
It never has random shut downs and can run my card mining for 24 hours at a time. Do i literally have to open this thing up to see it's age? What do i look for, or do i just kick back and wait till it shows signs. Mobo and HW monitor both show the same voltages so i doubt they are wrong? If your voltages are in check does that mean your PSU is good? Or is that just a little piece to it?

Voltage reports from software aren't really accurate. You'd physical equipment to properly test the voltages.
