    Whenever I download, and turn of 1 of my monitors (got 2) the download seems to go faster, and that annoys me, my components are:

    MSI 780 lightning
    Intel core i7 4770k
    msi z87 mpower socket-1150
    Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2x8)
    Intel 530 Series 180gb SSD
    Corsair 750W powersupply
    (also 1 of my monitors is 5 years old, the other one is 3 months)

    Im thinkin my powersupply may me too weak?

    Anyways if its not, why is my download slowing down then when i turn more stuff off, like monitor, and ofc google chrome i understand but not the monitor part. It came to my mind, if its not too weak, Im thinking the powersupply is locked and doesnt give enough power to get everything up (My pc has never had any problems with power/turning off/parts not working its just im wondering) so if its like ''locked'' how do i make it give my pc more power so i can check if it actually is the powersupply or not?? Or is there any other way to check this

    I bought this pc in december and its frustrating me
