Hey guys I have 2x GTX 970's G1 Gaming edition from gigabyte, I was wondering if I would be able to overclock the cards manually using MSI afterburner and if my 750watt PSU could handle everything? I tested my system power output and it showed that my system was averaging between 400-450 watts on FULL load (both CPU and GPU)
Here are my system specs:
- Intel Core i7 4790k @stock (turbo boost enabled)
- MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherbaord
- Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB Ram 2x4GB @1866MHz (OC with XMP on MOBO)
- 2x GTX 970 Windforce G1 Gaming GPU's in SLI
- 1TB WD Caviar Blue
- 256GB Crucial MX100 SSD
- Corsair H100i liquid cooler
- Corsair RM750 Watt PSU
- NZXT Hue RGB LED controller
- Fractal Design Define R4 Mid Tower Case
- Cheap ASUS CD/DVD Optical Drive

I managed to get a stable overclock of 1529MHz on the Core clock, and 1927MHz on the memory clock. I stressed both my CPU and GPU at the same time, and my wattage meter said that my system was outputting a total of 550Watts under stress. So is everything good or should I be worried? I really don't want my system to blow up
