An overclocked processor and graphics card can look impressive in benchmarks, but instability quickly ruins the experience if the power supply cannot handle sudden load spikes. While tuning my gaming PC, I spent quite a bit of time searching for practical information about power delivery because random forum comments often contradicted each other. During that process, I found https://seasonic.com/insights/seasonic-prime-psu-for-overclocked-cpu-and-gpu/ and used the information to better understand how demanding an overclocked CPU and GPU can be under heavy workloads. It helped me rethink my setup and choose a power supply with enough overhead instead of relying on the minimum recommendation. After making that adjustment, my system behaved much more consistently during long gaming sessions. If you're planning any overclocking, focus on power stability first because performance gains mean little without reliability.
