Mining PSU question
Hey, i have a system with a powerspec bronze 750w modular PSU, a 2070 super and a 3600. i just saw an ltt video about nicehash, and would like to try it to use it to make some cash on the side. the only thing i'm slightly worried about is the PSU, i think it should be reliable enough to mine on, and my system dosent have a very high power target. do you think this should be ok?

The 750 Watt power supply would be more than enough for this task. The PowerSpec PSU is an 80+ Bronze, which would give you 85% efficiency at 50% usage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus
I'd strongly recommend using MSI Afterburner or a similar program to reduce the power consumption of your GPU.
