First, welcome to TPU!! :rockout:

It would be much better if you could go into user control panel and update your system specs so we know exactly what you're working with. Kind of difficult to give proper advice with incomplete info

I have never heard of that MFG, wattage/amperage looks OK for your system but I can't be certain of the actual PSU quality. If I was @ a PC I'd search who the OEM is but I'm on mah fone ATM. Have you had a look at the PSU sticky? It may have some specific info...

yea i've looked at the sticker ?

Like I said; you should be OK but without knowing the OEM of the PSU I can not comment on it's quality. The PSU sticky we have has a list of OEMs but not sure if your PSU is on there, gonna have to look. If it's not there I'm sure some Googling will return the OEM.

In any event you should be OK, if it was me I'd be saving up for a PSU from a reputable MFG/OEM. Your PSU may have a good OEM, I don't know, gonna have to do some digging :eek:

Edit: Not the sticker the sticky lol IIRC it is at the top list of the General hardware section. Stickies are important threads that get "pinned" or "stickied" so they are easy to find

Then I'm afraid you're gonna have to do some Googling to find the OEM. Like I said you should be OK based solely on watts/amps but I'm always leary of off brand PSUs. Thats why I'm saying to find the OEM

I never skimp on PSU...

Hopefully some PSU gurus can chime in and advise maybe where is best to look, apologies for not being able to assist further :eek:

DarkOCean · Aug 5, 2012

A 7950 use a little less power than a 4870 so everything should be fine.
