Overclocking R9 390 with 750W?
Overclocking R9 390 with 750W?
I was thinking about whether boosting my R9 390 Sapphire with a EVGA SuperNova B1 750W would be okay. I've heard the Bronze 1 version of the 750W SuperNova isn't great, so I'm not sure if overclocking is wise yet. Right now, my CPU runs at 4.3Ghz with 1.1V.
Sure, I'd try it, but if stability problems arise, I'd skip it.
For EVGA PSUs, the G2, P2, and T2 lines are recommended, as they are produced by Superflower, known for high-quality units such as the EVGA SuperNova P2 750W Platinum Fully Modular Power Supply Unit. Additional options include:
XFX 750W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular Power Supply
Seasonic S12G-750 750W 80+ Gold Certified Wired Power Supply
With about 150W of extra capacity, a 750W PSU is a solid choice.

In terms of EVGA PSUs, I'd recommend them from the G2 , P2 , T2 lines, they are made by Superflower which make some of the best PSUs in the business e.g. EVGA SuperNova P2 750W Platinum Fully Modular Power Supply Unit
Other PSUs I'd recommend are:
XFX 750W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular Power Supply
Seasonic S12G-750 750W 80+ Gold Certified Wired Power Supply
You have approx. 150W leeway so I'd recommend any quality 750W PSU
ah right I see I'm thinking of upgrading in the future to the G2 EVGA but that's not until a long time, but at this moment would you recommend overclocking with my current PSU or not??
this is an example overclock I will be trying to achieve in this video

For npw, I'd say it's okay but I have to stress not to push your CPU in terms of overclocking because as soon as you push the PSU too hard the output voltage will be compromised.
ah okay thanks, but my CPU is overclocked at 4.3Ghz without having to change the voltages (1.1V was stock voltage) can I keep this overclock whilst OC'ing my GPU?
Sure, I'd try it, but if stability problems arise, I'd skip it.
