alrighty, seeing this thread has got me curious.
im currently stuck at a max o/c of 2.7 gig for a 2.4 chip, 149 fsb. anythin above that and the system wont boot - freezes at win2k graphical bootscreen (gets past the bootloader) and has to be hard reset.
was thinking about the psu - ive only got a standard aopen 300w psu that came with the case. looking at speedfan readings (i dont have a multimeter, sorry!) the 12v seems to fluctuate more at the o/ced speeds, but the 3 and 5v rails stay put (although one goes up, one goes down under cpu load).
ive got a spare 200w at psu somewhere and was wondering if i can hook my hdd, cdwriter and poss graphics card up to it - its a radeon 9700 pro with its own molex connector. thing is, if the output from the molex doesnt match the output from the mobo, maybe theres a problem?
still, if i was to put the hdd and cdrw on the at psu, how can you syncronise the power on of both - is there an atx pin that turns the power on or something?
thanks.
