Under clocking with MSI Afterburner finally fixed it but now I have a fancy new MoBo, case and an 850 watt power supply. (I paid for a 750 watt PSU but they accidentally gave me an 850. I ain't even mad)

I made a mistake by putting a GTX 970 into my Alienware x51 R2 which only has a 330 watt power brick instead of an actual power supply. Now I have to throttle the power using MSI Afterburner but MSI Afterburner only updates the signal about every 10th of a second. I have it set to 70% power but...

So if I do move all the parts onto a new motherboard in a new case with a new PSU, would I be able to just plug in my current hard drive, boot it up and have all of my files and my OS just the way it was before the upgrade? Or would it be complicated than that?

About 3 years ago I was dumb and bought an Alienware x51 R2. It was advertised as an entry level upgrade-able PC but man is that far from the truth. I went to upgrade from the sorry excuse of a GPU that came with the system so I put a GTX 970 in it. That was the second idiotic mistake as the x51...

I recently installed a GTX 970 into my Alienware x51 R2 and it is using to much power when under sufficient load. This causes the PC to shutdown. Could I use MSI afterburner to limit the power consumption the 970 so that I merely get a drop in performance instead a system restart? My plan was...

Would I be able to use MSI Afterburner to under-clock the GPU so that it is using less power?
