Check if this power supply supports overclocking.
Hi! I'm checking if it's safe to overclock your GTX 1070 with the EVGA 600w 80 plus white power supply. You can share a link so everyone can see. Thanks!

It's an EVGA W1, not a top-tier PSU. It's not terrible, but it's not exceptional either.
It can support GPU overclocking.
Just mentioning the final score doesn't really convey a strong grasp of how PSUs compare. The real insight comes from looking at actual performance data versus reviews, like comparing to a Corsair CX450M. That clearly shows the W1 isn't great. Of course, you can do worse, but the W1 is among the cheapest options I'd consider. I won't suggest it for this budget build.
Regarding the other point, that link was meant to illustrate how quality impacts overclocking. You...
The GTX 1070 and the entire Pascal lineup are heavily restricted. This model only outputs up to 200 watts, while it consumes about 180 watts when operating at maximum capacity.
With a 10 core i7, 4 harddrives, a ssd's, 2 dvdrom's, and 10 fans, I wouldn't recommend it. 😛
the GTX 1070 and the entire Pascal line are restricted. That 1070 won't exceed more than 200 watts. Under full load it draws about 180 watts. I'm stating this because some folks claimed my power supply is of poor quality, even though I believed it was solid. Would it be safe to use it with this supply?
The focus should be on the unit's quality instead of wattage during overclocking. This power supply is nearly inadequate, so don't anticipate significant performance gains or long-term reliability.
It's an EVGA W1, not a very good PSU. It's not borderline crap.
It can handle a GPU overclock.
It's an EVGA W1, not a particularly strong PSU. It can manage a GPU overclock. Only the final score gives a limited view of how PSUs truly compare. It doesn't really demonstrate a deep appreciation for the differences between units or models. Comparing actual performance data with internal choices, like the Corsair CX450M, clearly shows the W1 isn't top-notch. Of course, you can go even worse, but the W1 is among the more affordable options I'd suggest for this budget. Regarding the other point, that link was meant to illustrate how quality impacts overclocking. It seems some people either skip checking the real quality or performance, or they're working with a very low budget build. Using the same review, the W1's ripple is just under 90mV, which is quite average when contrasted with the Corsair CX650M's 31.8 mV (as per this review): The W1 maintains a load regulation of 2.8, while the CXM's is only 1.21% off. These are just examples of performance; overall, the CXM stands out in quality. The W1 won't fail or pose any serious risks, it's not bad, but it definitely isn't exceptional for overclocking.
