I have a Ryzen 3 2200G at 1.35V and an RX 570OLED with 50% power limit. My PSU is a CX 450W—should I reduce voltages and power consumption?

OC usage raises power use only slightly, PSU estimations are frequently inaccurate yet include a 25-50% "buffer" for extra power, which you should consider. Psu's usually lose some energy gradually because capacitors degrade. Operating near power limits can speed up wear and generate more heat.

cx450 should be fine for that

Thank you for the response. I'm curious about the different PSU recommendations I'm seeing. Why is the suggested power supply 600W and I'm not sure?

OC usage raises power use only slightly, PSU estimators are frequently inaccurate yet also account for a 25-50% "buffer" of extra energy, which you should consider. Psu's usually lose some efficiency gradually because capacitors degrade. Operating near power limits can speed up wear and generate more heat.
