Hi guys,

My 550w psu blew last night after flashing my red devil rx480.

Was running haven benchmark on a loop for 30mins np, loaded up the division and ran benchmark, after 30 seconds psu popped.

I'm running i5 3570k, 2x4gb ddr3, red devil 480(unlocked bios no oc)ssd and a 2tb hdd with a dvd rom.

I thought my 550w would be ok but aparently not, i presume it blew by being too low power rated?.

Any thoughts?

Ps been running locked bios for 2 weeks without trouble.
