can a 500w power supply support overclocking your graphics card?
Hi
I have a 500w sentey brp power supply.
I own an asrock 960gm-vgs3 fx motherboard, an xfx r7 370 with 2gb RAM, and an fx 8320e.
I'm planning to overclock my GPU and need to check if my power supply is sufficient.
Yes, your PSU is sufficient according to the paperwork. However, in practice it falls short. Most of the units are lower grade and would be truly impressive if they met their promises.

Although not an exact match, examining the load limits versus claims gives you a general understanding.
I wouldn't. To be honest, I wouldn't even run a GPU from it, let alone upgrade it on it.
These brands aren't the most dependable (usually), though there are occasional decent ones; still, they don't shine.
Do you have funds for a fresh PSU? Or would you just keep things as they are?
