4. -12V 0.3A +10% ~ -10% 120 mV
5. +5Vs 2.0A +5% ~ -5% 50 mV
6. +3.3V 30.0A +5% ~ -5% 50 mV
*+5V +3.3V combined output should not exceed 220W

MTBF Life Expectancy of this model:
100,000 hours* (11 years & 2 months)

Operating temperature range:
10oC - 50oC (50oF - 122oF)
is this a good power supply for overclocking

The numbers look good. Give it a try and check the PC health status in the bios for voltages.

thanks havent built my computer yet. planning on an asusp4533 sis 645dx with p4 1.6a(overclocked to whatever i can get it to). geil pc3200 drr memory. maxtor uata133 80gb harddrive.thermalright ax7-478 heatsink w/ 40cfm panaflo fan. some 80mm case fans a couple of slot fans. either geforce 3 ti or geforce 4 ti video. onboard sound to start with and some crappy speakers. plan to get sb audigy gamer w/ klipsch pro media 2.1 or 4.1 speakers after i see how good the onboard sound is. and i have an pcbox 13fan case(got it off of ebay) w/ a highpower 420w dual fan power supply (also got off of ebay. and some kind of 19in moniter prolly flat crt. and a 16xdvd and a fast cdrw. windows xp pro. and thats it . its gonna be my first system and im only 14 ,but im confident i can build it.

Sounds like a good system! Since its your first build be carefull (I know what its like, I crushed the core of my first cpu the day I got it oops) You should do alright at building it (most of its coulor coded) And its nice to see another Ebayer out there!

Go with the Geforce 4 Ti (something like 4400), The onboard sound should be ok with normal speakers but with any thing bigger I'd just get a sound Card (when I built my first computer I didn't put the soundcard in till the computer was around 2 months old!)

ya ill be careful. was gonna build athlon xp b/c i really like athlon ,but intel p4 chips are so much easier to overclock and it is very difficult to crush a p4 core.
