You can't do it through software, that is as much as I know, but I know that there is included a wattage "checker", on some of CoolerMaster's PSU

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.
