I have an 8 year old Seasonic M12-700 watt and I have a rare boot up issue with USB devices that I'm not sure if it's just the PSU is old or something else.
It's rare, but sometimes when I reboot some USB devices won't function, particularly the keyboard. I thought it was a motherboard issue, but this has been going on for a few years and I've replaced the motherboard, keyboard, pretty much everything but the PSU after all this time. And usually if I unplug something from a USB port and reboot it's fine.
The PSU is old and probably due for a replacement anyway, but I want to be sure the new PSU can handle all my hard drives and USB devices. I'm concerned, because my Seasonic had 30amps on the +5 rail and I see most PSUs seem to only have 20 or 25 amps now.
I have (not sure if all this uses +5)
10 5400 RPM hard drives
2 SSDs
4 USB 3.0 hard drives (self powered)
backlit keyboard, mouse, two game controllers
wireless USB headset
7 1450 RPM 120mm fans
fan controller
Other things (assuming these not affecting +5 rail)
GTX 680
i5-4500 @4GHz (stock voltages)
ASUS Z68 motherboard
16GB RAM
SATA PCI-E card
Do I need to be worried about the amps on the +5 rail on a quality PSU? I'll probably get another Seasonic,
