Is Chicony a reliable brand?

[HagridPotterz]

I've got a 300w Chicony power supply? Is it reliable? I'm also using an i5 750, a PNY GTX 750Ti, 8GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1TB HDD. Would a 300W Chicony power supply be enough?

I would want a decent PSU to run it.

chicony used to be a quite decent brand, then all of a sudden disappeared here, recently saw some of their new line of products

i wouldn't buy it

 

[HagridPotterz]

Ok, but will it run my PC reliably?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It should be able to run that setup , but the PSU is lacking in quality.

 

[atljsf]

why do you ask if it will work, we already said that is not a good purchase, better avoid it than discover it can kill hardware

never save on the psu, buy a good psu, then save on other parts, that cannot kill the rest of the parts, ends in flames and create a sad situation

i never knew chicony made psus, surely they don't do it, chicony only did usb camera, keyboards, mouses, headphones and speakers, no psus

atljsf, I already have this PSU, which is why I'm asking if it'll do the job.

SR-71 Blackbird, it is a terrible PSU? Or is it just decent? Thanks for the confirmation BTW.

 

[atljsf]

if you visit the chicony website, they don't even list any psu

they only list keyboards, mouses, cameras, that's it

the psu is not chicony, perhaps came with a old case + psu combo they sold and now is in your hands

is a cheap basic psu, not ideal for gaming at all

Chicony has also been an OEM for prebuilts in the past.
