Hello, your system details are clear: i5-8500, rx580 nitro sapphire 4gb, and chieftec proton 600w.
I can safely overclock it if you're prepared with the right precautions.
You mentioned you have some experience with overclocking—good to know!

Essentially similar to OCing CPUs. The main focus is minimizing power consumption as much as feasible, considering the power and thermal constraints that safeguard the device. Testing involves finding the most stable voltage for a specific frequency.

But will my 600w suffice? Many articles mentioned a 500w limit, but the power calculator suggested an 850w power supply for typical use (maybe for the 8gb drive).

Everything seems okay. Your CPU isn't compatible with overclocking.
My setup (i5-3570K @ 4.2GHz + RX480 @ 1300MHz) uses 270W at the power supply, which is 90% efficient, meaning about 250W goes to the PSU.
There are occasional spikes beyond that range that my Kill-a-Watt can't detect, but I have a 550W unit.
I don't think you'd be able to exceed 400W even with a strong overclock on your GPU.

Sorry but the thread is named rx 580 and it seems I'm trying to hide the GPU there, which can be overclocked.

The RX580 is essentially a modified version of the factory OCd RX480, both reaching approximately 1500MHz.

Can't exceed that maximum if my stock clock is above 1500, that's clear.

Your stock clock is set at 1411MHz. Have you confirmed the frequency using GPUz or a similar tool to ensure it's being accurately hit and kept stable?

I have some concerns about the PSU. Chieftec isn't recognized for producing reliable products, and there are no available reviews for this item.

Its a german company, many people use it here for high end builds, and it sustains them, it also has a 80 bronze, how much more watts will it consume, also is there such software to show wattage for the whole system.
