  Pa warranty mo na yan kung meron pa, tapos palit ka na ng mas mataas Corsair AX/AXi or RM series o kaya seasonic Evo s12/m12 520.

  i have a 5-year old corsair hx620 and my rig was only running at stock and the specs is meager. Can i still use this if i plan to use i7 6700k (to be overclocked), nvidia 1070, 2 ssd, 2 hd, 1 sound card, 10 pieces of 120mm fans and a number of 5.25 bay fan controllers and display. I will be overclocking the proc and memory but not the video card.
  
  if i can't reuse the psu and i need to buy a new psu, which is recommended for this specs? seasonic g750, seasonic p760 or corsair rm750x? thanks.

  kung buo ang primary circuit mo, afaik dapat nasa 300 to 400 + volts yun, kasi voltage doubler circuit yung eh, pero depends pa rin sa design ng circuit ng psu mo, mas maigi pa check mo sa marunong mag analyze ng circuit, delikado yan..

  I have a 7-year old Corsair HX 620 which I still use for my Core i7 4790K + GTX 970. System power draw while running the latest games is around 250 watts. Expect Core i7 6700K + GTX 1070 to draw about the same power
  
  In it's lifetime, my PSU supplied about 200 to 300 watts for my past gaming PC's

  guys need help sa UPS. Balak ko kumuha ng UPS, my PSU is seasonic na 520 watts
  PC specs are
  
  i5 3470
  Galax 1070 Virtual Ed (parang founders lang, not overclocked)
  8GB RAM
  1TB HDD
  250GB SSD
  Monitor is ASUS 27 inches
  
  question is, kaya ba yan ng 800VA na APC? Mukhang out of stock kasi FSP e, 1500 VA lang meron kaso medyo mahal na for me nasa 7k na price
  
  thanks
