Can I use this power supply to do overclocking?
Heya, am I asking if this Cougar STE500 500W power supply can handle overclocking my graphics card or CPU? I couldn't find any good info on the internet. Here is a link to the product page: Specs for GTX 1060 6GB and Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler, Team T-Force 16GB RAM at 3200MHz, Dual Channel setup using MSI B450M chipset

COUGAR is from HEC/Compucase and they do have some really good models. But their STE line isn't one of them; it sits on the lower end where things are mediocre at best. The 34A (408w) 12v rail is pretty weak, even for a group regulated unit. If you look at a Seasonic 520w unit, they could pull way more amps and power.
