GPU overclock depends on motherboard

[Zoli__]

Hey guys i recently bought a pre built pc with theese specs:
GPU: GTX 970 MINI Gigabyte 4gb ddr5 OC edition
Motherboard: ASUS H110M-A DDR4
PSU: 450W CORSAIR

my question is that when I OC my 970 to more than 150 MHZ on core clock it starts to crash bout ~10 minutes in games and i dont know why. so thats because of the PSU or the motherboard or what?? the gpu's got only 1X8 pin connector. nearly 300-350 watt is the powerconsumption

You really should have a good 500 PSU or better, not sure what Corsair you have but as an example the CS model only has about 425 on the 12 volt rail

I have a Corsair VS450

So you have about 410 watts on the 12 volt and need about 500, not something I'd be OCing or trying to OC with

So i bought today a 650w supply with 550w 12volt and it still crashing :/ pc said "Nvidia driver not responding, but restarted" or something like that
