I have just bought a GPU which is recommended to have a 12v 42A current on a PSU and a minimum of 500w total power.
now I have a 500w PSU which has 12V1 18A and 12V2 18A
I did have some problems in the beginning my computer was showing a error message about "over current have been detected on your usb device". I took the mouse, keyboard and headset and put them in a USB2.0 ports instead of 3.0 ports and it seemed to work. I don't feel like the system itself is unstable at all, I also disconnected 1 fan and one HDD just to be "safe".
I hope I am safe until I get a newer PSU, which does need to be upgraded anyway..
Although I am still wondering if this is not healthy for any of my components on my system.
Thank you in advance.
