question Old power supply for new build?

[Adcadet]

Any reason I can't use my old Antec TruPower Trio (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103942) for a new system build (Intel or AMD)? Has anything changed since 2008? I know Haswell has some issues with sleep/hibernate, but I really don't care about that sort of feature.

So long as it's still more-or-less within spec, Tim, you should be fine. In general, if a PSU boots reliably it will run reliably. (But you never really know for certain, of course.)

Thanks, Tannin.

But, um, Tim?

Thermal Interface Material?

He probably thought you were Timwit, AD. The old bugger is so vague it's positively scary. Still, I can understand the confusion - both human, intelligent, and good looking. Easy mistake to make.
