Hi all, we recently bought a sapphire 7850 2gb OC for our ancient system and then we needed to upgrade the PSU. We bought a model that has 2 12V rails which are both has 18A value.
And then i saw this topic ( https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/power-supply-for-sapphire-hd-7850-2gb-oc-edition.711089/ ) which a guy suggests 24A on a 12V rail to be safe.

So do you think the psu we bought will be enough for our system or we will have troubles?

Your PSU has 30A on the +12V rail.

It is a very old PSU. You seem aware of that. But also be aware that even though it's old, just because it works doesn't mean it's working correctly.
Well, i am hoping that 30A will be enough but i dont have enough knowledge. Which is why im here.
