These are my current specs:
i7 6700 non K - 65 W TDP
MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X - According to this website it is 400W however on MSI's website it says ONLY 180W
I have a DVD recorder which is say 50W (it's most likely abit less, but let's be safe here).
Motherboard Is a Gigabyte DDR4 H110-m-h mATX which is about 35w maybe (haven't checked)
RAM: 2 DDR4 8gb ram sticks, maybe 7W total
1 SSD and 1 HDD which are like 10W max
-5 fans, most likely 15W total
adding the above: 15 + 10 + 6 + 35 + 50 + 400 or 180 + 65
we get a value of 581 to 361.
The powersupply I use is a Corsair VS550 W high efficiency PSU: http://www.corsair.com/en-ww/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply
I'm not too familar with PSU units but here is what it says on their website
"Features
A dedicated single +12V rail offers maximum compatibility with the latest components
Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) with PF value of 0.99
AC input from 200~240VAC
Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and short circuit protection provide maximum safety for your critical system components
High-quality capacitors provide uncompromised performance and reliability
A three year warranty and lifetime access to Corsair's legendary technical support and customer service
Safety Approvals: cTUVus, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TÜV, CCC, C-tick"
I really want my 1080 to run at 2k MHz atleast (I've got it to 2200MHz before). However it was a really hot day and I smelt something burning but wasn't sure if it was coming from my computer. I became paranoid and stopped everything immediately and no damage has been done. My main concern is my PSU might not be strong enough to handle overclocking. I am not worried about temperature or anything.
On MSI Afterburner, what happens if I increase the frequency of the clock and VRAM, but leave power consumption to 100% and not touch voltage? I don't play wiht voltage much anyway, not sure what it does. I'm new to OC'ing.
