Hi.
I am going to be building a Ryzen system while reusing some components from my AMD8350 build including PSU. My PSU (Antec VP700) only has an 8 pin CPU connector but the ryzen boards include a port for another 4 pin which i have heard is for overclocking potential.
The reason i am going for the cheaper 1700 is to overclock it to be near 1800x performance for less at around 3.9 ghz constant.
If i use my Antec PSU with only 8 pin CPU power will it be able to achieve this type of overclock with stability or should i really buy another PSU with the extra 4 pin CPU connector? ( i obviously would prefer to not have to replace my PSU)
Thank you for reading and for any answers given.
