There isn't enough FPS despite using an OC 1070 and 4670k at 4.4GHz. Could it be the PSU or GPU?

I own a Corsair CX600 and everyone is complaining about it... I haven’t had any issues with a 970 or 760 that drained power too much. I’ve been using the ASUS STRIX OC program and pushed all the settings to their limits for everything. Now everyone and their mom is seeing crazy frame rates on DX12, and I’m getting around 45 average. Is it because nobody is enabling x16 Anti or HABO+? I feel like most people just use regular FXAA and 8x anti, but I prefer eye candy. I just hope I’m not in trouble.
Which games are you enjoying? Disabling v-sync might help reduce screen tearing when using windowed borderless settings.
try it out to check for tears, if you notice any, then change to borderless windowed
When overclocking the GPU, you can't simply push everything to its highest setting. It needs to be adjusted gradually to determine what works best. This might cause it to revert to default or lower clocks due to that. Also, anti-aliasing remains quite demanding, particularly when combined with X16 and habo+.
When overclocking the GPU, you shouldn't just increase everything at once; it needs to be adjusted gradually to identify stability. It seems the system is reverting back to default or lower clocks due to this approach. Anti-aliasing remains quite demanding, particularly with X16 and habo+ together.
With the ASUS STRIX, the clock tops around +349 MHz, whereas the 1070 and 1080 can exceed 500 MHz. That's why I prefer using the ASUS model but with precision X. I encountered crashes because I was setting the speed too high, even though I followed your advice. It definitely points to a CPU issue—reverting the speed back to 3.8 GHz didn't cause crashes, but restarting before logging into Windows Account caused a crash.
I checked if the case fans were opposing the CPU fan and adjusted their direction accordingly. Also, I noticed the CPU cooler (Hyper 212 Evo) could be turned on or off. I wasn't sure if this was normal, as I thought air bubbles in the thermal paste might be blocking heat transfer. After about three hours of installation, it seems the setup was only partially correct, likely needing a minor tweak.
