[sangad thubanbeast]

guys these are my specs
cpu-1055t 2.8
mobo-880gm usb3
hdd-500gb wd
ram -4gb 1333 kingston
psu-600w cm extreme
graphics-thinking hd 6950

and plzz some advice to oc 1055t i have hyper 212+

600w would be plenty. However if you ever wanted to SLI in the future you would want at least 700w. Sometimes it makes more sense to spend a little more now, than alot more in the future if you needed to replace the whole PSU.

^ Crossfire sorry not SLI. Forgot your working with AMD here

you can not oc your system with safely .
- cm extreme 600w is. Psu 450 W labeled 600W. offer real risk to your computer, plus it provides poor
efficiency, between 69.2% and 77.6%.

- 1055T oc with fsb not multiplier, if raise fsb automatic raise fsb of ram. This is need extreme or strong ram with heatsprider (heatsink ram). For value ram need big jakect heatsink + mini fan be better.

The cooler master extreme series is lackluster, read through the review henydiah posted, i was about to post that one myself. The voltage regulation on it is lacking which is going to make OCing much harder to get stable, and its efficiency is absolutely horrible in this day and age, there are units with 90% efficiency, and that thing cant even hit 80%...

While it could handle a 1055T and a 6950 at stock it would be cutting it close, i certainly wouldnt OC on that unit or you are risking killing the unit.

get a better psu even if its 500 odd watts a decent 500 watt psu will be fine but rather a good 500 watts then a crap 600 watts

 

[dhicks19]

i think it would be fine for a medium oc, its not as if his system is a power hungry beasst

First of all thanks guys............i am new to building systems,,oc ,,,gaming,,and even on toms....................So thank U alll.......however u made me chew my fingers cause i was hoping that it would atleast run my system properly cause Hd 6950 needs 550w minimum power supply ...............anyways i am totally out of cash cause i live in india here it costs me like $95 so i cant afford a new one this system ws my b'day gift i cant make changes except for graphics so................. should i kill my enthusiast gaming dreams with hd6950 and buy a midend hd 6790 ............................................................and even if i bought 6950 hw much oc i can do stable.....on 1055t ........and thanks in advance and sry fr my English

seriously I would try your system with a 6950 and try oc it. Yes it would be better with a new psu but we arnt all made of money. It should be fine. I running an overlcocked i5 at 4.7ghz and 6950 in xfire on a 700w cm psu. its fine.

Why manufacturers like Cooler Master are still carrying power supplies with fake wattages is a mystery to us. We know that this is a very low-end power supply, but this doesn’t give the manufacturer the right to lie. This unit should be labeled as a 450 W unit and sold for half of its price. Being labeled as a 600 W product and sold for USD 70, it is a complete rip-off.

If you pull more than 450 W from this product, it will offer real risk to your computer, plus it provides poor efficiency, between 69.2% and 77.6%. If you are looking for an inexpensive yet decent power supply, get an OCZ StealthXStream 500 W. It costs less than this Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus and presents better performance.

We also discovered that this unit is basically a Seventeam ST-500BAZ with the switching transistors upgraded, but this upgrade was too shy. The model from Seventeam uses 9 A transistors and the reviewed model uses 10 A transistors. By the way, the 550 W version of the eXtreme Power Plus and the Spire Jewel Black 650 W are simply a Seventeam ST-500BAZ power supply with a different name. In consequence, the only difference between the 550 W and the 600 W models of the eXtreme Power Plus are the switching transistors.

Soooo how much i would be able to oc 1055t with a hd 6950 unlocked to hd 6970.........................................and also would it be better if i get 6790 cause i have 15 inch screen with 768p native resolution a card like 6950 would be a overkill for it
.....................i think so any advice would be appriciated
