Question New PSU needed or not ?

[nongamer77]

I am in the process of building a new computer. I will be using the Ryzen 8600G CPU. I am thinking of using my current PSU. It does not have the best reviews however. It has had only 2 years of use. Seasonic S12lll. 550 watts. Should I cut my losses and replace it?

If your not going to add a video card the Seasonic should be fine.

Thanks, I think that I will buy a multimeter and test the voltage to be on the safe side.

You can see the voltages in CPUID HWmonitor for free and other programs.

S12III is pretty bad but for an iGPU-only system it should be fine. Just replace it if/when you decide to add a dGPU.

I worry that it would bring down a new system.

It's not that bad.
