I thought I had to turn the push pins in the direction of the arrow, the instructions are probably the worst I've seen. There is literally one diagram which is useless and don't get me started on installing the 2 metal fan clips. I checked some reviews of the cooler and even most reviewers managed to install them wrong.
I'm changing the psu to a 750w but the 550w is fine for temporary use. Even if it managed to use 550w from the wall that would actually only be 467 with 85 percent efficiency. Don't see anything wrong with using 467w on this power supply.
you have that totally backwards
80% means that out of 550 watts drawn by the components that means AT THE WALL you are drawing probably close to 630 thats how it works because you are rectifying AC CURRENT into DC POWER and you always lose energy there in the form of heat

you are pretty close to maxing that PSU
