Hi guys!

Just wish to know if my PSU is enough to handle these components:

My PSU "FSP Epsilon 600Watts 80Plus White" (Non-Modular)

Components:

Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H Motherboard
Intel Core i7 4790K - Overclocked to @4.6Ghz
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Corsair H100I V2 High Performance Liquid Cooler
Aorus Geforce GTX1060 Xtreme Edition 6GB (Rev 2.0) Overclocked to Extreme in Aorus Graphics Engine
2 TB Barracuda Seagate HDD
Corsair Crystal 570X RGB (with three RGB fan Pre-installed)
BenQ GW2270 1080p

There are total 6x120mm Fans in Casing i.e.

1) 3 x 120mm Intake Fans at Front Pre-installed RGB (Controlled by Corsair Hub Pre-installed in Casing)
2) 2 x 120mm Radiator Fans of H100i V2
3) 1 x 120mm Cooler Master Fan at rear

If Watts against each component you can advise then its also helpful.


Why I am asking that because when I set Rear and Front Case Fans at Full Speed in BIOS. That fans also run at same speed under windows.

But while gaming mostly any AAA Games, I noticed the minor Slow-down on Front 3x120mm Fans, didn't check Rear Fan. Also after gaming, its remain as during gaming.

Is it something else I have to set in BIOS or Corsair Link?

It might be too old and have lost too much power output due to aging internals. However, if it was new, it would be no problem.

So what you can do is try it out. If the PSU is too old, it will shut down on it's own once you put it under load. If such a thing would trouble you, you can just get a new unit straight away.

I bought this GPU in end of Year 2015 but I doubt that its not enough to handle the stuffs, I have.

Further, its not shutting down my system but when I checked fans during gaming, where processor run at overclocked speed and card as well run at Max Speed then I found that its running slow.

If possible, can you give Watt Calculation per Item, I have. So I may decide, which PSU should I buy.

If your PC is not shutting down under load in this configuration, then the PSU is still okay.

What you are describing sounds like throttling of CPU/GPU because of temperatures. Did you check them yet? How high do they go?

My favorite power supply calculator is:

https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

According to a quick plug in of your values, your system only uses 374 Watts while in use. If 374 is 80% of your power supply's capacity, a 500W will easily handle your power needs. Your power supply at 600W has a lot of capacity.

Also, according to this review of the basic version of your power supply:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/2581/6

"The voltage stability is close to amazing with this unit... All four 12V rails stayed well within specs, with only 0.6% regulation - perhaps the best we have seen so far."

So what is happening?

I suspect it has to do with that power supply having four 12v rails.

Make sure that your front Corsair Hub that controls the front fans is on it's own 12v rail (it probably is).

After that, I don't have any specific answers, but I really don't believe that it is something to worry about. Fans that seem a bit loaded down and running slightly slower could be an indication of something being starved for power, but you have a very highly rated, very good quality power supply. Everything is running, and running well. I think it's just one of those things.

The way to test to see if your power supply isn't working right (it happens, even with very good quality power supplies) is to test by substitution. Get a different 600W power supply and plug it in and see if the problem still remains. If the fan slowdown continues, you know it isn't the power supply, and that is an important thing to know... you need good power to run your system!

Personally, I'd live with the fan speed pitch change, and use the system until it shows some other sign of a problem.

Good luck!

Thanks bro for detailed answer. Yes I have exactly the Same power supply i.e. "600Watts 80Plus White".

I noticed that after heavy gaming, when system become idle, The top Fan speed (out of three front fans), is running constantly at high speed whereas the other two front fans speed seems below though in Corsair Link, speed of all three front fans are same.

However, tonight I will make little video and post link here so you can check whats the exact problem.
