I have a ATX mid with 250 watts, today I went out and got a 300watt power supply is that going to make a difference? I got a Duron 750@900 110x9.5. I used the hardware monitor pro and it shows that my core power is at 1.82-1.84v. is that correct? I didn't do anything to the L7 bridge yet should I...? I have set my voltage jumpers on my A7V to 1.725/1.75 is that to much? should I change it back to 1.625/1.65? BTW how will you know if the CPU is burnt my did never passed 49deg. I for got to plug in my fan for a few hours but I had a additional fan that was running on top of my chrome orb. Thanks again everyone.

300w psu is cool, but it is not going to get you any faster than the 250w, unless the 250w unit you already got is a crap one. Your cpu voltage is ok, and your temps are too if you never see any over 49. However 49 is on the 'high' side but not uncommon with orbs. I am talking about temps under 100%cpu load.
Don't let the 'burnin' rubbish confuse you.
Some ppl say that their cpus can run a little faster after few days/weeks run @ high speed/voltage under full load. This is referred to as 'burnin' the cpu.
If you experience this you belong to a very small group of firm believers ;)
