what PS should I be looking at for a good OC

[AL Romero]

I have an Antec case with a 300SL PS. Is that enough for a good OC? I have 2 system fans one big cpu fan dvd, cd-rw, enermax fan controler, and a floppy. What do you think???

[INGlewood78]

ANTEC True Power...best out there

[sandman001]

Or a fortron 530watt.........or Antec 550 true control

[AL Romero]

****..REALLY!!!! I need something that big???

[AL Romero]

I just looked and the 550's are more then my mobo and cpu combo was.

[AL Romero]

But then again I need a new mobo to do some OCing cuz mine is SHI*!!!!!!!!!!

[AL Romero]

Is a 400 going to be to small??? Cuz Im not going to be doing any braging about my PS :)

[AL Romero]

yeah the antec true 430 is like 75 but the 550 is like 120 so is the 430 going to work out????

[katka]

I'd say the 430 would work, but if you're going to be powering a lot you might need a bigger one.

[AL Romero]

what do you mean by powering a lot???

[bdw8]

You should put this in the 'Case and Power Supplies' section. You will get a lot of help there.

he means 4cd roms 2h/d's an fx5800 ultra, a cpu overclocked with a 2.5vcore and a peltier to cool it...

i have the 430w true power, and i love it...voltages are stable as hell

[Gautam]

Only a 300w here. $32 shipped, 120mm fan for absolutely silent operation. A Fortron btw. If it can power my rig, it can power anything.

[katka]

Yeah I basically meant what TimmyQuest said. Hate to see how big of a PSU it'd take to power all that lol.

[altec]

Sparkle, Antec, or Enermax are the best PSU's out there.

[emericanchaos]

when you look at power ratings you also have to look at the company rating it. a 400W from antec is going to be alot better than a 400 from enermax.

depending on your cpu that smal power supply may be able to handle it. if your in question check out an antec 350 or larger or a fortron/sparkle 350-400. for what you're doing a 400 from either company should be plenty.

[rugbyroy]

get a fortron 350 and you'll never have any troubles. plus it's only like 40 bucks. Go see the power supply forums ...

[AL Romero]

cool thanks!!!
