I recently built my first computer >
Intel Core i7 3930k @ 3.2ghz (turbo 3.8ghz)
Asus Sabertooth x79 motherboard
Corsair H100 liquid cooling
MSI Radeon HD 7950 graphics card
16gb Corsair vengeance memory (4x4)
Corsair 750w power supply
Lite-on Blu-ray Burner drive
DVD-reader drive
ATF media card reader
256gb SSD
1tb HDD @ 7200rpm
250gb HDD @ 7200rpm
I want to overclock my CPU to 4.5-4.8ghz, and I read that definitely increases the watt consumption by a lot. However I have yet to find any apps or programs that tell me while my PC is running how many watts I'm drawing. Will the 750w be enough for all that + an over clocked CPU? I assumed originally that if I didn't have enough watts the PC would simply shut off, but after reading a few horror stories of the PSU frying some PCs in the process, I'm a little worried I didn't get a 1000watt PSU.
Thanks!
