Eh it's fine but I think you should maybe use multi quote tool next time. It's the first one before the quote button - It's a "+"

So true it hurts

It's not THAT bad but yeah if the OP want to crossfire his GPU it's probably not gonna do the trick

Not only is it bad, it's actually only a 400W PSU

 

A single 480 is cutting it close there.

No look at the 12V Rail specifications. 204W and 192W, together they don't even reach 400, and that's the important rail.

Because Thermaltake are assholes that lie in their marketing lol

 

Shouldn't need to downclock. But you should undervolt as far as you can while remaining stable.

To be honest, the Litepower is pretty bad. It seems you're only getting 396W from the 12V rails. While it would work with the RX 480, I wouldn't buy a "top-tier" GPU only to power it with a sub-standard PSU.
