Is the PSU too weak?

KCM · May 14, 2002

Hello,

I have a Enermax 330W Power Supply and I have some Problems with my +5V Line, it drops sometimes until 4.63Volts.
Sometimes the Computer reboots without a specific reason.
And I can´t OC my TB 1.4Ghz more than 1.53Ghz.
Is the reason a weak PSU.

Are you running an Epox motherboard. Enermax and Epox have problems. Is that 4.6v at load or idle?

No I have a KT7A Mainboard and the 4.63 are under load.
Idle they are 4.71V and my 12V raises till 12.6V under load.

It does sound like you need a bigger power supply
for the moment try disabling automatic restart in XP and see if it works

It definitely seems you need a better PSU. Consider an Antec 400+ Watt.

Then i should get a Antec 400W.
Could a weak PSU be a limiting factor on overclocking?

Thank you for your help guys!
