i have high quality psu and its 8 y old.it was on low end pc without any
Pressure on it.healthy and clean.two 12v rail with 16A on each rail(36A).combained 450w for 12v rail and has 6 safety protocol(upper than 80% efficiency)
its work fine with my new build 1070 ti and 8700 nonk about 6 month..every thing is ok.temp is ok.occt and furmark test is ok.i have just a litle coil whine noise in gaming time.can i continue with this psu or it dangerous for my gpu and cpu??can it fry my mobo or gpu?

8 Years old?

And it's really a 384W PSU.... NOT 580W.

Replace it defiantly if you want to keep your system.

  1. It was never a high-quality supply.
  2. All PSU's age over time and the output becomes lower, I call it power supply rot. A very high-quality supply might only lose 15% over 8 years but a low version could become as much as 60% less effective.

If your able to even power it on and pass stress tests then it is able to handle the load for now but the question is for how long. Gaming is quite hard on a PSU since you are basically surging the entire time you play. Power supplies last longer on a constant load as opposed to a surging load.

Math is a little off there.

2x16A = 32A.

32A x 12V = 384W.

For a PSU rated at 580W to only provide 384W on the 12V rail indicates to me that it is an extremely poor quality PSU, where the manufacturer is relying on deceptive practices (it probably DOES provide 580W total for all 12V, 5V, and 3.3V rails combined, but 12V is where most, if not all, of the power needs to be available).

This is a disaster waiting to happen. I would not trust that power supply AT ALL. Get a high quality PSU that will protect your valuable hardware, and does NOT run the risk of a fire.
