Hello, I'm looking to boost my GPU performance by overclocking it to 15-20%. Do you think my PSU can support the increased demand?

Aladdad would suggest using a power supply of at least 600w, emphasizing it's safe and the current unit is excellent with a draw around 400w, leaving plenty of capacity for overclocking.

Aladdad suggests using a power supply of at least 600 watts, warning it could be very risky to attempt overclocking with such a setup. He notes the total system power consumption would likely not exceed 300 watts.

Thank you for your concern! It’s understandable to worry about performance under heavy usage. Running the system for 8 hours with a 1-hour break could be challenging, but it’s manageable if you monitor resource usage closely.

Thanks for the responses! I'm a little concerned about running the system under full capacity for around 8 hours with a one-hour break, especially since I'm playing a long marathon of Assassin's Creed. Is it alright to do that? No worries at all.
