Turbo mode

[SteamedLawnChair]

There's a feature in my bios called turbo mode (i have a rough understanding of it but if you know what it does please explain).I currently have a very shitty and I'm currently collecting parts for my new one. I was wondering if it would be safe to enable turbo mode as everytime I turn on my pc I have to undervolt my card so my psu doesn't fail, I have an i5 650 with 12gb ram, gt 1030 and a 240w wierd ass shaped psu

I don't think turning on your computer in general is safe based on what you describe. I wouldn't try to enable turbo until you get a better psu.

The only problem is though I can't get a better psu, it's a wierd L shaped sff psu which curves around my hdd. There's only 1 model in existence that would fit my case and it's only a 240w

Then get a new case. That psu sounds like a ticking time bomb just waiting to short you hardware. No point in investing in better hardware to put into a computer with a psu that is possibly going to fry those components.

Ok, one of the capacitors or resistors have blown on it because it makes a buzzing noise

Like I said get a new psu that isn't crap. 

pick something from teir 3 or above for a good quality psu that won't fry your components.

A unit from Corsair, like a CX series are great power supplies and are pretty cheap as well.
