[SOLVED] Is this PSU fit for overclocking?

[kyxzu]

Heya,

I'm wondering whether this Cougar STE500 500W psu is fit for overclocking my gpu or cpu. I couldn't seem find any good documentation or reviews on it. Here is a link to the product page.

Specs:

GTX 1060 6GB
Ryzen 5 3600 - Stock Cooler
Team T-Force 16GB 3200MHz - Dual Channel
MSI B450M

COUGAR is a house brand of HEC/Compucase, and do have some seriously decent models. Unfortunately the STE line isn't one of them, it's on the lower end of mediocre. 34A (408w) rated 12v rail is somewhat lackluster, even for a group regulated unit, Seasonic 520w could pull 40A (480w).

Thanks for the information.
