I'm looking at power supplies and was wondering...does a more powerful PSU (greater wattage) produce more heat?
---
With that in mind, I am considering purchasing either of the following:
-Antec TRUE430 (430W)
-Thermaltake Silent PurePower 420W
My rig that I am building will have a 2400+ mobile processor 1.35v, an ati 9600 pro (or something similar), 2 CD-Rom-type drives 1-2 hard drives, a floppy, 4 fans, a temp monitor device, and a fan controller.
I will be overclocking.
Now, I've read the stickies and am a bit confused. Do I need the amount of power for the PSUs I am considering...or could I go with a 350w?
