power supply for a duron

[NedClocker]

It's pretty well known that you need at least a 300 watt power supply for a tbird. But, nowhere can I find, even on AMD's site, the minimum wattage recommendation for a duron. Anyone know?

Is 200 watts enough? How about if you're going to overclock it?

I increased the vcore on a 1GHz morgan duron to 1.85 and changed the fsb to 133 in the bios and tried to boot it. It wouldn't even post.

I used a 200 watt power supply. Would it work if I used a 300 watt power supply? The only other things in that box are a cd drive, a hard drive, a pci video card, and 256 meg pc133 ram.

It could be the psu. Do you have a larger power supply that you can try out? I don't know the exact power requirements for the duron, but I thought I read somewhere that the morgan durons use more power than the older durons, but that could be a memory error from overclocking my brain on caffeine. but.. but.. but... bad syntax. Told ya so. caffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeine.

I found this site that tells you. Scroll down a little way to get to the morgan durons, which are listed below tbirds. Morgan@1.3 sucks up 55-60 watts, or so it says. http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm

try one of the other psu and see if it will boot

I seem to have missed something. Why is this post in the folding area???

the duron is a folding box. as long as the topic has something to do with folding then it belongs here.

Thank you, Ebola. I think it's very pertinent.

Fair enough, but if you put it in the AMD cpu section you could have a lot more people seeing it than just those who fold. And if you switched to SETI and put it in the SETI area.... :D
