Well it is a bit of a beast. I am just checking on the work of the local computer store.
I think it is this one - Sparkle FSP460-60PFN-EPS 460W Dual Intel Xeon Power Supply

Only says 15A on the 12v rail though ... misprint? It has 2 12v rails, one for each proc?
I modded it for a quieter fan (2/3 the amps on the fan, 0.15 instead of 0.22) and it poops when the duals are under load. Looks like PS shuts itself off after a couple of minutes.
So it's probably my fault but I'm checking. An 0.22A 80mm fan is probably the bare minimum for it, considering how much the PS is obstructed inside. It does thermally adjust the fan so it's probably operating at its heat margin all the time anyhow, and 2/3 the fan power just cuts way too far into the margin.
Ironically, when I thought the PS was loud, it was probably just something else.
Thanks for the help Matt.
PS The video card is pretty generic, Radeon 7000 or whatnot.
PPS I'm tempted to cut up the power supply and thermal-adhesive an old XP heatsink to what appears to be its aluminum heat conductor.
