    It's a El Cheapo Corsair non-modular one. Was gonna get a new one anyways but I needed help on the wattage, ya know?
  2. neffemaxi
    Yeah makes sense. I'd forgotten that my GPU's pretty thirsty.
  3. neffemaxi
    Alright. Thanks for the response. I'll take a look if I'll get one of them.
  4. neffemaxi
    Ok thanks, I'll make sure to get a different PSU then.

    Hi There. I own a Core i5-8600k and was looking into overclocking it. I was wondering how high I could possibly reach with a 500 Watt Powersupply if that is even enough to safely overclock. I am a newbie in the lands of overclocking a CPU so I would be very grateful for answers and will appreciate every single one. Thanks.
  6. neffemaxi
    Yup, will do! And again Thanks!
  7. neffemaxi
    Ok then, Thank you so much. gonna get a 400-450W one then.
  8. neffemaxi
    And if I might throw in a second GPU in a year what would I be looking at? A 600W PSU? And will that really be enough to power a overclock to 5GHz on the CPU? Sorry I'm just super curious. And so does that mean that I should overclock the GPU to 2000MHz?
  9. neffemaxi
    Well the stock speed is 1,6 and I really don‘t know alot about GPU overclocking. I know there is the NVidia boost that boosts it up to 2GHz but how high should I OC it then? And if I‘m drawing ~300W a 400W should be good, right?
  10. neffemaxi
    I‘ll be running an i5-8600k (~5GHz), AIO Water cooler (240 or 280), 1070ti, 16GB DDR4-3000, optical drive and a card reader (if that makes a difference).
  11. neffemaxi
    1070ti
  12. neffemaxi
    So I‘ll be using: - Intel i5-8600k (OC‘d to ~5GHz) - EVGA GTX 1070 Ti (OC‘d to ~1.7 GHz) - 16 GB of DDR4-3000MHz RAM - 1 optical drive and 1 card reader Thanks

    Hey there. I know there are loads of PSU wattage calculators out there but when I bump in my numbers it tells me that the recommended PSU wattage is 582 Watts (50 Watts more than the Load wattage). I know that your PSU usage should be at about 80%. But after the calculator tells me which PSU wattage would be recommended it recommends me a 750 Watt PSU which would probably be a waist of money, right? Looking forward to your answers, Thanks.
  14. neffemaxi
    Yep

    Thanks. Well then, off to the PC shop!
