Will the insurance transfer to you?

This is the only issue I see that card requires Minimum 600W or greater system power supply

With the minimum of 600 watts,your 550w psu would be pushing that limit and could cause issue’s.

i heard its a problem only if u overclock it?
u sure it uses like that all the time?

I am assuming you are talking about the GPU, OC has to be set and it shouldn’t be over clocking on auto.

Yes you probably be pushing the limits. Remember that the Video Card is not the only thing pulling power. Powers supplies really do not run what they are showing and depending on the age of it.

You may be able to do this for a short period of time (really do not suggest it). Will the insurance cover the card if it fails and you are not. They may say you are not running under the recommended sorry your loss.
