I've seen the review. Sadly I've bought the 500W version of this power supply last year for my first pc. I'm looking to upgrade my gpu from a RX580 to a GTX2070, but i don't think i can afford a new powersupply aswell... My cpu is a r5 2600. Would mine suffice? And what is crossloading?Quote:

I agree with your statements. Not upgrading GPU until he can afford a PSU that will not destroy his new GPU makes sense.Quote:

You guys are probably right. First pc build. I had researched litteraly every single component but for some reason I thought coolermaster was a reasonable brand. I guess i'll just wait until black friday. Haven't had any problems with my PSU yet though, and it should be able to handle 100000 hours atleast. One question though, what is crossloading and when does it happen?...Quote:

In the future power supplies may only produce one voltage (the 10 year old desktop I am using at the moment has a power supply that only produces 12V) and then the problem does not even exist.
Thanks for the reply! I'll just buy a new psu and gpu together on black friday this year!
