Is new PSU required?

Cabinet : Intex Supernova
Processor : AMD FX 6100
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

I want to add a new cabinet fan, do I need to replace the stock PSU?

What are the details of the 'stock' PSU ?
Do you mean the one that may have came with the cabinet ?

A fan or two doesnt matter much to the psu.

If I remember correctly Intex Supernova comes with a 450W PSu though it may seem enough for Op's rig but it's always recommend to have a good branded PSu. So Op tell us your budget for a new PSU if you are interested.

The Stock PSU is having 450W supply. I do not want to buy a new PSU at this moment. I have bought a 80mm dia cabinet fan but wondering if the stock PSU can take the additional load?

it can, but it would be advised to switch to a proper branded cpu from a reputed brand ASAP

CX430V2 should be the least upgrade if you do upgrade.

a 80mm [local???] fan wouldnt be much of a load.. but what is doubtful, is the actual power rating of your "450W"PSU

even if its 400~350w it can handle the load.

Thanks for your replies. I will install the fan and see...
Maybe next month or so will buy a new PSU.

now that's like a good biy ;-)

BTW, can you post the +12V amp rating of your PSU ( it's should be for eg. say 15A ) ?

^ no real use of the ratings for a local PSU.... those are all fake.

but at-least something is better than nothing IMO ;-)
