guys what happens when i overclock my processor with bad power supply(overclocking is prohibited in this psu and then what happens.?
 
What are your specs?

That Corsair PSU is not meant for dedicated GPUs let alone overclocking. You are risking your whole system by overclocking on that low quality unit. Get something like a Corsair CX550 if you want to overclock. Its a decent quality budget unit.
