Hey guys
having doubts whether I should test out my system or not, usually I have a 1060 6gb but I bought a 780ti and refurbished it and wish to see how far I can push it (comparing it against my 1060). My processor is a Xeon x3480 which pulls in 95 max, maybe a lil more I have it oc'd by 7mhz on the fab, ram is 16gb 1666mhz, 6 120mm fans, will I be able to get away with doing this or am I asking too much of the PSU? Corsair vs450.


any advice is much appreciated!
 
Solution
Yeah, I would not run an OC'd Xeon + 780 Ti on that PSU.

In theory if you overload the PSU then OPP/OCP should kick in and safely turn it off, but I don't know if I'd want to risk my other components testing that.
