IT SHOULD Be enough power to work. If you oc it like mad you may come up short. At standard volts running a heavy use cpu/ video card program I would think you would pull under 320watts more like 240 watts.

But oc the ram 4 sticks at 1.65 volts

oc the cpu 1.4 volts

oc the gpu 1.3 volts ram 1.7 volts

IIRC those voltages are all very high.

all of these are crazy high numbers.


Then run really heavy usage tests and it may struggle.
