Hello [H] Power Suppliers,
For a good quality PSU, is there a good "rule of thumb" to go by as to the usable life span?
I ask only because I am on the home stretch of building my 1155 system, and I currently have a Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750W that's getting to be about 5 years old. It's been powerering the system in my sig since purchased new. On average, I'd say my computer is on about 20 hours a week, with 15-18 of those hours used for 3D gaming. The rest of the time it is either powered off or in Sleep Mode.
Should I consider a new PSU, or should the RPP 750 keep chugging along for quite some time yet?
