Hi guys, recently both my motherboard and gpu suddenly kong and I am afraid it might be caused by my psu dealing damage over time? Not sure how to check so just want to replace for a peace of mind.

My current setup is:
Intel i5-10400
Gigabyte H410M H V3
Klevv 2 x 8gb DDR4 2666Mhz
Sapphire Radeon R9 390
1 x SDD, 1 x HDD
All powered by SEASONIC M12 II 750 EVO.

Currently looking to replace to a new unit but with limited budget at around 200-300.. Is CM's MWE 650 Bronze V2 sufficient? Found at shopee for about RM229. Or is there any better alternative?

Thanks in advance!

I highly doubt your PSU will damage your PC over time icon_idea.gif

The M12II is an old unit but it's still mostly fine for low powered GPUs (probably up to a 3060) icon_idea.gif

But a R9 390 isn't exactly a power efficient card either so you might want to spend a bit more for a higher quality unit, see here:

I'd recommend increasing your budget to something in the line of the NZXT C650 or the Corsair RM650 icon_idea.gif

The MWE Bronze v2 isn't exactly an upgrade either over the Seasonic icon_idea.gif

Guess that's just bad luck then for both my mobo and gpu sweat.gif

I think i see you mentioning that the NZXT C650 shares the same platform as Seasonic or something? So I guess that should be good! Thanks for your input thumbup.gif
