Question Is thermatake 730watt psu good for core i3 6100 and r7 360?

[Tausif87]

It ran perfectly well with a h170 board with a 550w litepower but i changed the board with a z270 and the cpu is overheating. After a few minutes of start up the display signal gets lost. Please help me guys . Do I need to change the PSU? Or it might be the problem of bad cpu pasting ( which is almost 4 years and most of the paste has come off). Should I change my psu to 730W SE smart power?

550w litepower
730W SE smart power?

Both of those are horrible PSUs.

Any idea about why this problem is happening?

Well... I'm surprised that Litepower lasted that long.

But if you think the thermal paste is almost all gone, why aren't you chasing down that?

Litepower 550w is still in good condition. It ran the same system in h110 and h170 board perfectly and without any problems at all.

It's in "good condition", but it's a very poorly made unit. I'm surprised it lasted this long.

What psu should I go for then(in this tight budget)?

So you're in the U.S. or plan to buy from the U.S.?

I have repasted my cpu and seems to run perfectly... This did the trick for me apparently😋
