Buy a Cm hyper 212 a good vfm cooler for just around 2k you won't even have to look the temps at stock clocks
That has to be the dumbest statement I've heard in a while. 450W would be insufficient if his stock power consumption has already saturated/nearly saturated all of that power, but like I said, he has more than sufficient headroom. The peak power consumption of his system at stock is about 300W and that is assuming he is using 3x high performance fans, multiple USB and PCI devices.asingh said:No, I am not joking. 450W is not good for OC'ing. Better safe than sorry. Rest is up to you, to convince him that it is fine.

I would, but the case here is; you misguiding a someone seeking advice, giving room to unnecessary added panic. Should you have cautioned him against overclocking cause of the die temps with his stock cooler, I wouldn't have bothered.asingh said:You could say I am playing super safe.
Your premise is flawed.asingh said:a VX450 is not good for OC

Ok, I am being dumb and saying a VX450 is not good for OC. You could say I am playing super safe. Sorry. If the OP is convinced he can go ahead. Great.

While a single spoon of honey would last an entire week for an ant, it is almost insignificant for human. Does that mean the spoon of honey is invalidated entirely? Your statement is mutually exclusive to the topic starters configuration.
dvijaydev46 said:There is no need for sarcasm here really and you don't have to play super safe with this config. Don't you think a good PSU like VX450 which can even provide 500+W will be sufficient for an i7+9500GT combo? My 940 at 3.8 GHz + heavily v-modded (1.6v) 9600GT even at 905 MHz, with 7 120mm fans consume only like 340 - 370W under OCCT power supply test load. It's that simple.
asingh said:I prefer to play super safe. You might like to recommend 'living on the edge' systems. Good for you. That is your style. As we all know, PSU calculation is no exact science, unless one connects a 'watt-oh-meter' device between the PSU PLUG and electrical output socket.
You maintained that the OP was at risk cause of the power supply for the second time, obviously my straight up reply did not get through. The debate would have been a stalemate if I did not use a primitive example.asingh said:Regarding a colony of ants being compared to a human, is not analogous to the OPs system as compared to a high powered rig.
By that logic, you should be advising everyone against overclocking. Given those specs, there is absolutely no difference(with respect to power stability) between overclocking on a 450W unit or a 550W unit. Imagine a scenario when the OP resolves his temperatures issues and then succumbs to an absolutely unnecessary investment for a new PSU. A shameful case of misplaced doubt, wouldn't you agree?asingh said:What I recommended, 100% sure nothing will go wrong.
Context : Weather or not 450W will suffice after the given system has been overclocked.asingh said:Mine was not a mutually exclusive statement, it was relevant and pertinent to the topic.
Your metaphor "living on the edge" would be valid if his power draw at stock was near ~380W, but with about 150W of headroom and given the stability of the unit at high loads there is absolutely no risk involved. Very unlikely that the OP would push anything beyond ~3.6, regardless my facts hold good for 4.0 with still some juice to spare for USB/firewire devices.asingh said:I prefer to play super safe.

Your statement : "450W is not good for OC'ing."
Assessment : Clearly you haven't considered the power requirements of then given system at all. Your statement is thus mutually exclusive to the sample. I thought I was pretty clear when I said "is mutually exclusive to the topic starters configuration".

You were too thick headed to understand when I put it plainly. So used an example to better suit your standards.asingh said:Yes, and I will still maintain that. Since you did not get my point, I am stressing it again. And not resorting to bee and honey childish examples.
You are either blind or plain retarded. Try reading what I said again.asingh said:And now as per you there is no difference between a 450W and 550W. Please. Those are basic numbers. Even a child can tell the difference.
Given those specs, there is absolutely no difference(with respect to power stability) between overclocking on a 450W unit or a 550W unit.
asingh said:I had checked the PSU of the system. As per me it was coming to around 380W, full load. OC'ed on his equipment. Yea, the 450W will make do, but not comfortable. So straight away I said NO. And will stick by it. He has 70W have listed head room
/debateasingh said:Sure makes sense. My way of calculating and keeping over head specially on OC systems differs from yours. No ways did I post my BIG FAT NO, without looking into the system settings, and what the OP wants to do with it.
After I am done resolving those temperature problems, sure.asingh said:Ok, tell me..if you had a system like that..would you OC it on a VX450W...?

@op: Any update as to what u r upto with the cooling
