Hello there, this is my first post here.
I recently bought a sapphire r9 390x tri-x and a evga 500w 80+ white power supply. The rest of my system is a i5 4590, 2 sticks of 4gb 1600 mhz, a wd blue and the motherboard is a gigabyte h97 gaming 3.
I know that the power of the psu is too close to the maximum power of the system, but i'm from argentina where everything went up in price a lot and this is what i was able to buy (beacuse is not a big used market in my city).
I'm looking for help to reduce the power draw of the gpu to not blow everything up. Amd drivers have a limit power option but i don't know how that affects to the clock speed of the gpu processor and the power of the cooling fans, because if i reduce the power of the card the coolers will have less power to cool everything down.
Thank you for your time guys
