Hey guys,
So I was just wondering if a EVGA 450 BT would be any good for overclocking a Ryzen 3 1200 to atleast a stable 3.5-3.9 Ghz.
Specs-
CPU - Ryzen 3 1200
GPU - GTX 950
RAM - 8gb DDR4 2400 Mhz
Storage - Blue WD 1 TB
MOBO - ASRock AB350M PRO4 mATX
-Tyrone

Consider installing an intake fan at the front or on the side panel when feasible. Often there are openings at the front for air to enter, even without a dedicated fan holder (zip ties can secure it). On the side, you'd need to drill intake holes (which can also be secured with zip ties). If you're merely swapping out some components, it's worth getting a new, affordable case that includes fans and improved ventilation.

How intense the temperatures become depends on your location inside the device. While there are concerns about performance issues at higher internal temperatures, we can't be certain without thorough testing. It seems safe as long as power consumption stays under 375W, but pushing above 350W could risk damaging the PSU.

Alceryes :
The temperature can rise significantly depending on your location. While there are concerns about performance issues at higher internal temperatures with this unit, we can't be certain without thorough testing. I'd recommend being careful—keep the power draw under 375W to avoid potential problems. If you're consistently drawing more than 350W, it might affect the PSU's lifespan. Personally, my room gets quite warm, and I only have one external fan in the back since this case is older. I haven't checked the temperatures yet.
