You risk overdrawing the PSU and damaging it. It can also cause other components to not get enough power or deal with erratic power from an overloaded PSU, so unrelated things may also start to act up.

What happens if power supply is not enough for graphics card?
The insufficient power can cause the CPU and graphics card to render screen displays inconsistently. Additionally, the graphics card may turn off the monitor if there's not enough power to render on-screen graphics. This is particularly common in multi-monitor setups.
Does power supply affect graphics card?
Not true. The gpu has no way of knowing a PSU cannot deliver sufficient power. What happens is the gpu draws the power/current it needs, if the psu cannot provide that amount of power you either get voltage fluctuations or complete psu failure. Voltage fluctuations will give instant stability issues or reboot.
How do you tell if your power supply can handle a graphics card?
The power requirements for each graphics card are listed on the side of the package, including the wattage and amperage. The power supply inside your PC should have a label with is output and ratings.
What will happen if my PSU is underpowered?
Causing a PSU shut down, which is not at all recommended, in turn may or may not damage other components based on how it is built. Lower quality, badly designed units are more likely than good units to cause the cascade failure of your other components.
Can PSU destroy motherboard?
Most power supply units and motherboards adjust their voltages to accommodate small power surges. But if it's a big one, it can fry your motherboard and all the components connected to it.
Can power supply affect gaming?
Gaming can be seriously taxing on your PSU since they will generally fully load your graphics card, which is likely the most thirsty part of your setup. ... Under increased frequencies, CPUs draw much more Watts than the official TDP from the PSU, and things get even worse, of course, if you decide to overclock.
Can PSU make PC slow?
A power supply will not affect your computer's performance. So you won't get more FPS from a better power supply, your computer won't load stuff faster and process data faster. It just won't happen. Hardware (like the CPU) either does what it is supposed to every clock, or does not.
Can power supply affect RAM?
A bad PSU or motherboard can result in RAM errors without causing damage to the RAM.
Is power supply unit is important in choosing a graphics card?
If you're planning to run one graphics card, then a 500 watts power supply is all you need. In the case you'll be running two graphics cards, a 750 watts unit is what you need to get. The power supply brand is important.
Is 400w PSU enough for GT 1030?
Nope. It's 30W card. It doesn't require additional power connectors.
What happens if you exceed your power supply?
Either the motherboard, CPU, or memory will be unable to function and the system will halt or shutdown completely. The power supply will draw too much current causing components to heat up and burn out.
Is 300 watts enough PSU?
The system has an overall low power design aside from the components mentioned and 300 watt is enough if it's a single rail PSU. If it's a single rail PSU and the system has an overall low power design, 300 watt is enough.
Can you use 2 PSU 1 PC?
Second PSUs can be used to distribute the load if a single unit cannot cope by itself and it is safe to do so as long as any rail is powered by at most one supply. E.g., you can use the second PSU to power the hard drives, but the hard drives must be disconnected from the first PSU.
