Overclocking with my PSU

[UserBoy]

Hey so I'm thinking of overclocking my GPU, but I doubt my PSU (450W) has a high enough wattage, can anybody tell me if it's safe to do so ? I've looked up PSU calculators, but some forums say that they are not accurate.

 

Thanks in advance, Emile

 

here are my parts list:

 

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 4GB (mini-ITX format)

PSU: LDLC QS-450+ GOLD PSU 80+GOLD

CPU: Intel core I5-8600K stock settings

MOBO: MSI Z370-A PRO

RAM: 2x 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz

A pretty standard watercooling

3x 120mm fans

1x 140mm fan

1 HDD 7.2K RPM

1 SSD

You could probably get a small overclock. Do you really need to overclock, though?

444W maximum load on 12V, so you can overclock to your heart's content with a 970.
