PSU/Overclocking question.

[ItsMarkus]

Hello!

So I'm going to buy an i7 3770k and a new motherboard, and overclock the CPU it with a H100i. I'm wondering if I could overclock it to any significant amounts, 4,3 Ghz+ with my current PSU which is 500w 80+ bronze. (I don't know the product name but I could find out if necessary)

These are the specs that I'm looking towards:

CPU: i7 3770k @ 4,3 Ghz*

Motherboard: Asrock Z77 pro4

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz (4GBx2)

GPU: Gtx 660ti 2GB

HDD: Some random 7200rpm drive

Fans: 5x120mm 1x80mm (H100i Included)

PSU: Some random 500w 80+ Bronze PSU.

CPU cooler will be the H100i.

*The estimate speed that I'm trying to achieve.

So my question is could my PSU support that system and overclock the i7 3770k to about 4,3Ghz? If you need more information I'll gladly provide it.

Thanks!

Lol, Someone else will ask what PSU you have. I'm going to tell you you're doing it right with a 500 watt PSU ( unlike some other members around here -.- ). GL OCing!

I'll take that as "your PSU Will be fine" Thanks man! I was quite worried but now I know I don't have to worry! Thanks again!

It will be fine. I am running a i7 2700K at 4.5Ghz and a 660ti(also OCd) with a 520W PSU.
