Recently my PC's power supply decided to retire (died) so I decided to give it a funeral it deserves; it has been with me for many years, from the early days of my shitty upgraded Core 2 Duo set up which barely ran Minecraft, to newer systems with better processor and graphics cards.
Though no wonder it broke down; I've had it for almost 4 years and even at the time of purchasing it, it was used one.
Luckily there's a shop near which sells PC components so I could buy a replacement the very next day.
This time I didn't conserve with the PSU but bought a quality one with 80 Plus Gold (and a 10 year warranty!) energy efficiency which means at best there's only 8 percent of energy wasted as heat, so it runs really cool. So cool it keeps 0dB until it reaches 50% load with the fan kicking it.
In case you're wondering:
No, I didn't leave the PSU in the snow,
I'll spare the nature from that.
Also this is my first time uploading to DTube so it'll serve as a test on how things work with it.
Here's more about the topic:

I'll elaborate more with some nostalgic PC memories in a written post. I'll also link it here when I get it done.
