Hi i have a Asus Rog Croashair Hero VI and i learned that my PSU Thermaltake Thoughpower grand RGB 750w 80+gold are not completly compatible. See note from PcPartPicker:

 

  • Note:The Asus CROSSHAIR VI HERO ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

I want to change my PSU, i know i dont abselutly need to but i want ro boosr my pc soon and i dont want to have any problem.

Can i use Corsair Rm750x or Rm850x?

 

Thanks

You do not need the extra power to the cpu unless you are using extreme cooling.

 

Nice looking rig by the way.

not that you "dont absolutely need to", but you straight up "don't need to". 1700 will never pull enough to power to even saturate a single 4pin without dry ice or liquid nitrogen, 8pin can do double the power.

Yep, it should overclock. Depends how cool she runs.

 

Stock throttle temp for that chip is 90c unless the motherboard throttles first (vrm heat)

 

Try performance enhancer level 1 and 2 to start with, leave everything on auto except your memory overclock.
