Hi guys, just came into a bit of a realisation recently after a mate of mine talked about his problems with his PSU.
My current set of hardware, I'm using a Corsair TX-650W. I'm about to add this "XSPC X2O 750 Dual Bay Reservoir and Pump V4".
Would a pump use that much juice and is my PSU even enough to run my hardware (and possibly overclock it)?
I ask this because the problem my friend had is that his computer would blackscreen from time to time and say that the graphic drivers have had a fatal error. He's formatted the PC and installed the latest drivers and it still happens (faulty PSU, he had a 900W gaming one, don't recall the brand).
I had this same issue for a while until a Windows 7 update solved the crashes (a previous friend had said that maybe my PSU wasn't putting out enough power to the 12volt rails).
