Is there any PSU usage software going about? Just to double check as I found some spare hard drives going about so now I have 4x 1tb drives plus my new 1070

Nothing remotely reliable as unless its a digital PSU and has hardware monitoring . best you can do is get a plug meter .

Can`t say how accurate though
But as above a plugin meter would be more accurate

Thanks,
I did the basic search and it came
It at 403w so plenty (if accurate) I’ll try the advanced one later but I can only see it raising a small bit with adding a keyboard/mouse etc.

Few HDDs won't cause any issues.

Been playing for a good few hours the last few days but playing tomb raider yesterday and today after about an hour I got a notification

GPU exceeded 80 degrees this can deteriorate performance

I installed firestorm and checked, my fans were set at 50% so changed it to advanced so the fan percentage now matches the GPU heat. What does everyone set there fans at? Is 100% all the time over kill?

Also looking to add some fans to my case will this help? I have 2 fans at the moment a 240mm and a 120mm

I don't seem to have any performance problems at over 80 degrees.

My performance never dipped just because I got the warning notification Pop up I didn’t want anything to happen to my new card. Maybe the hue software early warns.
