[SOLVED] Can I use an old PSU in my new build.

[Ryzn_Red0925]

Hey Guys,
I'm planning on building a new PC. I was wondering if I could use my old PSU from my current PC in the new one.

Specs for new build:

Ryzen 7 3700X
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L
Asus Prime X570-P Motherboard
16 GB G.Skill TridentZ RAM
Sabrent Rocket Q NVME 1TB + 2TB Hard Drive
ASROCK RX 5700XT
Fractal Meshify C case

My current PSU I want to integrate is a 4 year old ThermalTake 750watt 80+ Gold PSU.

Sorry if I get some stuff wrong, i'm new here

I believe its called the Toughpower DPS G RGB 750W Gold

Toughpower units are generally pretty good.

It's the "Smart series" that tend to start fires.

Though not the best, it's still pretty good.

That's a different PSU tho. 650/750W version is based on CWT CSC LED platform while 850W one is based on CWT CSH LED, they're somewhat similiar and we have only this review among relatively reliable ones :

Although it would do just fine since OP already has it.

I saw the position of the DC-DC converters and the cables connecting it to the modular board, and then deduced that it was the same. Silly me, even the trafo and inductors were on a different position...

Thank you all for ur replys! As I can't order a new PSU rn, I'll probably stick with my old one for another year and buy another one in the future

Again, no need to replace it if you don't have problems, it should be good.
