I have a 480watt Bequiet PSU, its a good PSU, its quiet, its stable, and its provided great service, the thing is, i´ve had this PSU since around 2005, i´ve never abused it much, i doubt any of my builds have gone above 350 watt of power consumption, and since i´ve never had any power hungry machines, or Sli/crossfire (which it is ready for), i´ve never found a reason to upgrade or replace it,
the question is, with 3+ years on its back, is it time to retire it ? or ride it till it dies ?
