Should I trust a "Zumax" psu?

[Copenskoal27]

So yesterday I ended up picking up someone's custom pc. I wouldn't usually do this, but this guy claimed to be doing it for 20 years, and seemed like a trustworthy guy. I traded a ps4 for this pc. Specs are as follows

I5 4460 cpu
evga gtx660 gpu
8 gb g skills sniper ram
Msi gaming 5 motherboard
128gb Intel? Ssd
1tb seagate hdd
650W zumax power supply.
Windows 8.1 not sure if it matters.

Now I know well that a psu is not the place to cheap out on a build, especially on a decent one like this. I have never heard of zumax and I'm tempted to swap over to a corsair or seasonic before I even play on it anymore. I did stress test this pc for at least 20 hours and its very stable.. as it should be, not being able to be overclocked and all..
But either way, If any of you have expierence with zumax, can I trust the brand? Or should I play if safe and replace it before it takes out my entire pc?

Thanks in advance.

No, zumax is not a good PSU. Corsair, EVGA, XFX, Seasonic, FSP, even Antec is better. Go ahead and play your games and keep using it but order yourself a nice 500-550watt gold rated PSU as sopon as you can.

The whole "TAKE OUT MY ENTIRE PC OH MEH GERD!" does happen, but it isn't likely. Just order yourself a new PSU and enjoy your games in the mean time.

what this guy said. Also, I would like to add that "suspicious" power supplies tend to be overrated. like a 400w unit sold as a 500w unit

Imagine the worst power supply you can have, then go lower. Zumax designs are just horrible and cheaply made.

Much as IamTimTech said, just get a new one when you get the chance. No mad rush, but sooner rather than later.

You guys reckon a corsair cx500m would do the job ok? Is it comparable with my haswell cpu?

Yes, it should be able to handle it. GL with it!

cx500m will do just fine!

Ended up with a Seasonic G series 550 watt modular psu, incase anyone was wondering or cares lol. Thanks for the help.
