  i got a question. wats the difference of a 450w psu n a 420w psu? too much power can kill the system??
  i had a desktop which was using ICUTE casing, its a 420w. it has being working well till last year ard october, i think the psu overheat n die.
  if i replace it with a 450w psu, can it be used?
  by the way its only 1 year plus close to 2 year, n it died for 2 times. once was the graphics, once was the harddisk, nw i think is the psu.

  No difference. Plug wrongly will still kill you or both you and your PC.
  
  Oh yes, and iCute. Name is cute but useless.

  Meaning plug wrongly?
  
  Never align pins properly, never follow safety methods, force it into the motherboard, etc.
  
  If the CPU casing is well-ventilated, there's no need for so many fans. I only have one, and my PC is cool.
