Well there's no point in that if it hasn't failed yet.

He just doesn't want it to fail in the future, better to be precautionary and just get a new one with not as a high fail rate.

Basically, yeah.

Old PSU (STAY AWAY, basically):
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus 550w

Spoiler

Some Examples:
"Quality - completely dead after light use in under six months. RMA will cost about half the price of the unit."
"my motherboard was fried from average use in a closed case then after getting that replaced and up and running again my ssd is fried also only a few months later"
"How can I give any pros to a product that only lasted for 12 DAYS "
" I ordered this power supply, plugged it in, started up the computer and immediately it started my motherboard on fire."

New PSU Selection, suggested by one of the mods on TomsHardware. Supposedly made by Seasonic, so why not? It's also 80+Bronze, so it should be cooler thumb.gif
XFX Core Edition PRO550W (P1-550S-XXB9) 550W

Spoiler

Yes , send it back and get this one.

I got a sparkle and it is pretty damn good, gay name, but that shit can power.

I got a 700w

But for your build this could be a suggestion.

I've already ordered the XFX Core Edition PRO550W. It was like 68 bucks in total.

Welp, back to the shitty laptop until further notice?

I think he can still use the first one until this one arrives, and then ship it back.

Nope, back to a shit laptop xD. I didn't want to risk any of my other components with such a low quality psu.

Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research about the PSU. The series PSU I purchased has a high failure rate and I am going to return and replace it with another psu :/.

You could have just used the first one until it failed, if it ever was going to.

I could've but I didn't want to risk it as there have been reports of the PSU frying the motherboard, frying SSDs, and catching on fire . Anyway, new psu should be here tuesday. I can hold out.
