Well, I have an Antec 300watt power supply and I am currently overclocked at 10.5 x 166 for 1743mhz at 2.18v. My 5v line is at about 4.75v which is kind of low, is there anyway I can get this higher? some times it dips below 4.70v :( So far my system has been running prime for 10 minutes to lockups or hangs..

I just may think your PSU is only too small 300 watts for two IBM GXP60's a 2.2v mod thats a little overboard ... Although try Hoot's article.

you need at Least 350w, id say you need to buy a 430watt psu just to be more stable.. that'll only drop you about 100 or less... but worth it IMO
