Hello,
I plan of overclocking my oldish 8350
This would be my first time OC'ing so I'm just a tad paranoid.
Anyway I plan on applying a 4.8Ghz OC but I'm just wondering if my silver rated 850 Watt power supply can handle the power requirement.
I'm only worried because my computer contains 2x 7970 Direct Cu2 which are duel 8 pin cards
So my main question is Shall I wait and buy a large PSU with a bit more headroom or go ahead with the overclock.
Full Specs:
8350 at stock speeds at the moment
2x 7970 Direct Cu2 at stock speeds (if I have enough headroom might apply a 100mhz oc)
XFX silver rated PSU
Crosshair V formula Z
H100i (Push/Pull)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 9 XMP in Dual Channel
Oh and another question is when overclocking your CPU does it apply a OC to your Ram?(sorry for noobish question)
Oh and If there are some useful 8350 OC'ing threads any links would be greatly appreciated. ( currently using JayzTwoCents video guide).
Sorry for repeat thread but I set it to discussion by accident the first time.
