We don't know your current PSU and there is a PSU listed in the spec part.

I don't know how we could reply.

My bad, I misinterpreted the question.

Okay thanks!, I was just wondering if I was loading it too much if I began overclocking my CPU again.

You probably only use about 380watts of power with that machine. You have tons of room to OC :)

Sounds great!, However I have another problem but I'm unsure whatever to open a new thread or which forum to do it in.

 

My H100i won't fit in the top of my case with both fans on the radiator after I got my new MSI motherboard, GD65 the Mosfets heatsink is too tall.

 

I'm looking at buying a replacement case which I hope will fit it.
