yea only mines looks like it says different specs here's what it says:
ac input - 110/220VAC, 50-60HZ, 8/4A
dc output - +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
Max. output current - 13A 13A 15A 0.5A 2.0A

+3.3V & +5V max
combined = 105W

and it's by orion

15A(180w) on the +12v rail? No 80 Plus certification(debatable), with not much else to go on. That psu is garbage.
How exactly did your old gpu 'malfunction', if it wasn't the power supply?

You need a new psu.

idk how it malfunctioned. I had to restart my computer one day and instead of starting up like normal there was nothing showing up on the screen i tried restarting several times and it still showed nothing but black so when i looked inside i noticed that 1 of the fans on the GPU wasn't spinning anymore and the other 1 would spin for like 5 secs then stop then start up again etc.
Then when my computer finally did start up it no longer detected the GPU and it had to use it's built in video card (which was reallllly slow) and when i went to the device manager it showed that the GPU was "malfunctioned" (btw i still have my old GPU just in case i find anyone who knows how to fix a GPU)

and if the PSU is really garbage i'm willing to buy a better one
which PSU would you recommend? (with my specs)
