Whats the PSU and post total Config (To Check PSU Load).

@ OP - if you have the proper PSu use EVGA Precision app to OC the gfx card

prime source 700w is d' psu is that enough 4 overclocking?

Please avoid SMS lingo, its a pain to read.

PSU is good enough for a single GPU system for any OC. Go ahead with Topgear suggested App for OC. Also use HWMonitor etc to keep a eye on Temps.

 

[topgear]

Precision can monitor the temp too on the fly and moreover it can even show FPS, GPU Usage and Memory Usage on the OSD while gaming

 

[MegaMind]

For starters, MSI afterburner is more suited than EVGA Precision..

[Tech_Wiz]

u can see his psu in this pic its an old psu i think

 

[topgear]

it must be a cheap 700W desi PSU .. even after searching a lot I can't find the model no, anywhere else .. the internal cables used are also of low quality - change the PSU asap if you want to keep, use and OC the GTX 285.

@ashintomson.....

What's your PSU make n model ? I assume you're going to use your friend's gpu in your current rig .

GTX 285 is power hog (TDP - 200W) and it'll certainly consume more than 250W-270W alone on overclocking.

^^ glacialtech 900w is d psu am using

 

[Tech_Wiz]

Well then you can OC a 285GTX in Tri SLI
