i have a ryzen 3 2200g oced on 1.35v and my rx 570 oced with 50% power limit. My psu is a cx 450w is that good enough or should i lower voltages and power draws?
 
Solution
thnx for the reply. I m asking cause on various psu calculators my recommended psu is 600w idk why tho
OC increases power consumption very little, PSU calculators are often wrong but also calculates for some 25 -50% "reserve" extra power and so should you. Psu's tend to loose some power over time due to capacitors drying up. Being on an edge power wise can accelerate deterioration as well as heat does.
