hey guys

i recently bought a gtx 1050ti for my hp desktop which has an i5 4460 and a 300w psu.

the card works fine, but i was thinking of oc'ing it, to get the most out of my buck.

this is the zotac gtx 1050ti mini. how safe is oc'ing it with the 300w psu?

also do you'll know any one click oc software?

maby a little oc but not worth the difference you have the minimum power supply so I wouldn't recommend it.

sure, as long as its not a shitty OEM PSU or other low quality PSU that would be fine, got a similar thing going in the Toaster but with an I5 4690K

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)
