So my PC has been freezing from time to time and I'm sure it's due to the PSU. The total wattage of my PC reads 598W. I'm currently using a 550W PSU. The Wattage Metre is from EVGA Power Metre.
The main question I was wondering, is 48W difference enough to warrant upgrading my PSU, and can using a PSU that's below the wattage metre reading do damage to my PC?
My specs are,
EVGA GTX 1080Ti (OC to 2055MHz).
i5 9400f (usually running at 4.1GHz, 6 cores)
1x 2TB SATA3 HDD + 1x 500GB SATA3HDD
1x 500GB SATA3 SSD
2x 8GB DDR4 RAM
If needed, I have 8x fans running (800rpm - 1500rpm).
Other then that, can't think of anything else.
