With a reactor that powerful you shouldn't have any problems running the other programs without the reactor overload. Unlees of course you have insanely high engery costs on your parts.

I would guess that it should be possible, assuming the Energy Drain on your components is not horribly high. Obviously, a quick check would be to try.

Besides, you can fix all the damage the 3s do.

I smell a Kuat RCT-Z...

Nothing will overdrain that reactor unless you actively search for things with anomalously high drain.Even then you'll have trouble.

You will not have any problems with that reactor. As a matter of fact I think you should leave that reactor for another ship since you will not need all that power and you could save at least 10k worth of mass for something else. I use a reactor of a little over 16k generation rate on my krayt and all the stuff I have in it requires around 18k so I am on the red right when taking off, but then I run reactor overload 3 or 4 (can't remember but I think it is 3), capacitor overload 4, weapons overload 3, engine overload 3 and cap shun to shields 4 without any problems. And my krayt is not missing any component, even got the turret filled in with a weapon for when someone decides to grind exp with me

Of the three programs you listed, the only one that will cause the component to draw more reactor energy is Engine Overload 3. The other two don't need any extra energy to run. Weapon Overload 3 has been bugged since JTL came out and it actually makes your guns use less reactor energy and not more. And the Capacitor Overloads, which were rushed into the game shortly after JTL came out don't have any extra reactor drain at any level what-so-ever. As for Engine Overload 3, it will make your engine use 3.333 times as much energy as normal. If you run Engine Overload 4 your engine will use 10 times as much energy as normal.

I found this thread form a search but its late so I'll just post my question. Will using all these overload and overcharge programs cause the item to decay faster? Like say applying a powerup to a weapon in a sense?

EDIT

nm, i think i found my answer....
