TqM Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sorry, I figured someone else with more hands on knowledge with the 2015 AW15 would reply.No, your current power supply is plenty for overclocking what you have in there.If you research complete benchmarks for people using any rig with a 980m, even AW laptops (17 included), nobody ever needs more than between 150 and 190W total with their machine. The 980 and 970 are both very power efficient, you'll likely create heat damage on your board before you top out your power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecomputershop Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 I ordered a 330w and it did make a difference. My processor for one would not go into turbo mode when the gpu was working to its max however with this PSU it works at 3.3ghz. I am using Premas unlocked VBIOS also with the GPU running at 1.27ghz (thank you Prema) Very happy with results!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
