I own a Corsair 650VS power supply.
My PC specifications:
CPU: AMD FX 9370
GPU: INVIDIA ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1070 FOUNDERS EDITION
Motherboard: ASSROCK 990FX EXTREME9
PSU: CORSAIR 650VS
CPU cooler: CORSAIR H100I
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE PRO 16GB 2x8GB
Hard drive: SSD 240GB
Case: CIT APACHE GAMING CASE-GREEN
My questions:
1. My power supply seems fine, but my system crashes when I try to overclock the GTX 1070.
2. For overclocking the GPU, what steps should I follow? I believe I need to increase core speed, but I’m not sure if that’s the right approach and it might cause crashes.
P.S. I use MSI Afterburner for GTX 1070 overclocking. Appreciate your help.
Your PSU is a budget model. Your system isn't designed for budget use, and your PSU might be the reason why overclocking isn't working well, particularly given that it's an older group-regulated build.
