PSU overclocking Problems

zachparr2442 · Mar 21, 2014

So i just got a Corsair cx750m and a 8320 when i try to overclock it and when i do the stress test i get a whining sound from the psu then the sound stops and computer completely freezes. Should i ask for a replacement PSU?

The CX line of PSU's are not really made to handle overclocking. They are considered tier 3 PSU's. Get yourself a better PSU before you take another shot at overclocking.

Check this link out to find about better PSU's:

well im already having them send me another one and if that doesnt work i will ask for a refund, and my CX500 worked fine for overclocking my FX6300

also my buddy has this same psu and a i5 4760k with a r9 290 and he is overclocked to 4.3 no issues

But remember you have now upgraded to more powerful and power hungry CPU.

Build now http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3dYsL build then http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3e2OL not that much of a difference the 750 should be able to handle this no problem

The Intel i5 4760 takes less power than the AMD fx 8320 therefore it's not as demanding on the PSU.

Maybe i got a Bad PSU only the replacement will tell then if that is Bad i will get a refund and get a better PSU

thunderdan602 :

Yes and that GPU takes a hell of alot more power than mine also about 125watts more the i5 4760 84w the 8320 is 125w

zachparr2442 :

But you need to take into consideration the overclock. I think your going to have issues with this PSU and your AMD with the overclock. Maybe lessen your overclock.

thunderdan602 · Mar 21, 2014

zachparr2442 :

You could be right. Try out the replacement before you make a decision.

zachparr2442 · Mar 22, 2014

Well if this replacement doesnt work il send it back get a refund then get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073 what do you think

thunderdan602 · Mar 22, 2014

zachparr2442 :

That's actually a very good PSU. It's a tier 2 PSU.

zachparr2442 · Mar 22, 2014

I hate to harp, but I am sure that the reason for the issues is that that cpu do is more demanding power wise.
