Question Undervolting RX 580

[Rockhanger]

Hey, I have a 460watt psu and in normal usage it is not enough for rx 580; monitor goes black and it closes itself. But with msi afterburner i lowered the power limit by 20 watts i guess and it is now stable. Is this any dangerous, because i don't have the money to buy a new psu right now.

I certainly don't understand graphs...
I just wanted to know if it's dangerous to undervolt by 20 and without playing with clock and memory. I'm doing this just because my psu is not enough.

It's not dangerous to undervolt your GPU, but it is extremely dangerous to push your PSU to the limits and you may now end up killing your entire Computer if it all goes badly wrong.

I don't know what country you are in, but you can get a half decent PSU for under $50 which is very little to pay if you want to risk losing your entire computer.

Sadly nothing is cheap in my country.
A 600w 80+ psu is 500- 550 Turkish liras and its hard to earn probably as much as earning dollars. And I'm a student with no income :')

newegg do deliver and work within Turkey, and if you have any budget you should check for a new PSU.
Maybe one is local and you can get it cheap, people will complain on this forum if you get a really cheap one, but we all have budgets.
