Antec300 watt...

I used a 300w antec on mine before oc'ing and the TEC were added. So look at my sig, minus the TEC and the overclock and there you go. I think it'd work fine. It's a good PSU.

With the Antec 300W going for $43 shipped and the 400W going for $77 shipped (Pricewatch), the 300W is an attractive PSU. However, being one of those people who has had to re-buy several peripherals because I didn't buy the first time with an eye on the future, I'd recommend getting the 400W if there is any way possible. If that is absolutely out of the question, then by all means get the 300W. Antec supplies are excellent "workhorses".

No, I don't think so. I ran almost the same config (mobo, ram, cpu, vid card) for a while with the same psu you have and it worked fine. Check the motherboard health values in cmos and see how the +5 and +12v legs are.

Well I know my +5 value is kind of off when I overclock, the +5 value is at about 4.90. but it's normal when I set my CPU at stock speed. I was told that my psu was not giving enough power thats why I encounter sudden reboots when I overclock my CPU.

If it's off by that much then it could very well be. Since the +5vdc line is the most critical it's stressed especially in overclocking...because that's where the core voltage comes from for the CPU.DDRpower said:

So, by doing the 5v mod, it will definately help stability?
I have an Antec 300w, (I hate it $35-lol) I think it doesn't have enough .....umph! for OC'ng.

I never did it, so I can't really tell you, but I think it would. Somebody else following this probably knows more than me about this anyway.
