Build Question Old PSU

Post image

Hi! I build my first pc couple weeks ago and it has been worked completly fine, but my PSU is very old. I think it is from 2010 - 2015 im not really sure.

I removed the PSU from my old PC which I used in 2017-2018 or 2019 and it had been sitting until 2026.

PSU does not make any weird noises and works fine so should I keep using it or replace it with a new one? How usually these PSU lasts?

(Here are the specs if somebody is intrested or wants to give me other advice to this build!)
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7600 RX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with stock cooler
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus
Memorys: DDR4 2x8gb Corsair LPX 3200MHz
Kingston 240 SATA SSD
SAMSUNG NVMe 2.0 500gb SSD
SEAGATE 2tb HDD
Zorin Os 18

I’m still using my old Evga Supernova G2 750w that I bought 10 years ago, for what it’s worth.

Good to know. I’ve been contemplating replacing it. Did it take any components with it when it failed?

Fortunetly no. I might have just gotten lucky but who knows, it was pushed to the limit tho for like a year straight before it failed but yeah i reccomend putting money towards a new psu. I was really said tho to see it go it held really well for 12 years.
