Right psu for overclocking GPU
Right psu for overclocking GPU
What's up guys new to all this and have a few questions I plan on overclocking my evga 1070 sc but I am not sure I have the rite psu here is my set up
I7 7700 locked
MB asus prime H270 plus
4 8gb sticks @2400mhz
Corsair CPU liquid cooler H60
3 case fans 1 for the LC
1tb hhd
120gb ssd
Gtx 1070 Sc
My question is will my 600w psu be good to power all of that plus OC my 1070
Regarding adequate power requirements, yes, a 600W power supply will easily cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).
The EVGA GTX 1070 SC uses around 150W under normal gaming conditions and up to about 180W when fully stressed, according to reviews from techpowerup and guru3d.
With a locked i7-7700 drawing roughly 65W and the rest of your components adding less than 100W, the entire system won’t exceed around 400W.
Therefore, a 600W PSU should be sufficient.
The performance, efficiency, and dependability of your existing 600W PSU remain separate considerations.
Regarding adequate power and amperage, yes, a 600W power supply will easily cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).

Regarding enough power and amps, yes, a 600W PSU will definitely cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).
The EVGA GTX 1070 SC uses around 150W under normal gaming conditions and up to about 180W when fully stressed, according to tests by techpowerup and guru3d.
With a locked i7-7700 (~65W) plus the rest of your parts (well under ~100W), your system won’t exceed roughly 400W total.
So a 600W PSU should work fine.
The performance, efficiency, and reliability of your existing 600W unit are another story.
