I think the EZcool might just support it, but It's not worth the risk. I'd personally buy a new PSU if you could afford it.

I agree you would definitely benefit from a new reliable PSU with good reviews such as the XFX range or Corsair maybe even some EVGA PSU's are decently built!

but what are the benefits of a new psu and the dangers of my old ones?

If defective, it might fry some parts in your computer; worth the risk?

Because they are cheap crap made as cheaply as possible. Just take our advice and get a decent PSU from XFX, Seasonic, Corsair etc.. that won't turn your 450 PC into a door stop.

A PSU failure can send too much power to your components, effectively killing them. Sometimes, so much power is dissipated as heat that components can catch fire (commonly VRMs and components inside the power supply itself.) Bad PSUs are the most common thing to actually kill PCs by destroying hardware.

personally ive uses these psu's and i don't see it giving too much power, i check the temp frequently and all seems to be okay (using the 780w as of this moment), am I right for me to cary on using?
