Is SMPS output Ams important??

[saketram]

I have "Acer Veriton 7100" system. Last week, in SMPS, a lizard went
into and short-circuited the SMPS, and I could not repair it with the
mechanic in my city. So I searched for the new SMPS, and found many
but none of them are from Acer. And also they do not match at output
amps with the Acer SMPS. Though due to urgent I bought the available
SMPS and it is working until now no problem.


VOLTS CURRENT
NEW OLD

+5v 40A 20A
+12V 17A 8A
-12V 0.8A 0.5A
+3.3V 28A 14A
+5VSB 2A 3A


I am still working with the system with the afraid of whether the new
SMPS will make any damage motherboard and other devices.

My question is "Is it good to use the new SMPS (with different ams) or
not"?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Then you are worrying unneccessarily.

The only one which is worse is the +5VSB

Nope, the worst that might happens is that it doesnt have
enough +5VSB current. That wont kill anything even if it doesnt.

Yes, the new one is fine.
