Oliverng4Ng · Feb 20, 2014

i just added a liquid cooling system and i was wondering am i overvolting my system now because i dont want my psu to explode!!

all my specs are in the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ULTRA-FAST-Quad-Core-8GB-1TB-Desktop-Gaming-PC-Computer-AMD-HD-/191025096255?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item2c79fba63f

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: i have upgraded the psu to a cx500 so the one in the link will have been replaced, and added a r9 270x in my system and added liquid cooling (corsair h80)

You replaced the 500w power supply with another 500w power supply?

If you purchase a "kill-a-watt" for $20 and benchmark while using the kill-a-watt it will let you know exactly how many watts you're pulling.. Or http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp .. Add your components and it'll let you know your power requirements

no i replaced it because the old psu didn't have any connectors for my gpu so had to replace and the old one was very plain and simple

I plugged in all your hardware and it mathed out to 550w at 100% load. So I'd go for a bigger psu. Especially if you ever plan to crossfire or overclock

It will likely melt before it explodes..
