I traced the problem of my HDs clicking at boot to my Antec TP380 power supply. My problems went away when I put in another PSU, so when I finally replaced the TruePower 380, I took a look at specs and noticed they are all identical except the PSU label (plus also old vs. new manual) shows the +12 V like so:
.........OLD....NEW
VOLT +12V +12V
TRUE330 17A 22A
TRUE380 18A 24A
TRUE430 20A 26A
TRUE480 22A 28A
TRUE550 24A 30A
Does that mean my new TP380 is like an old TP550?
(I know they released some new PSUs in new Sonatas, but shouldn't they have called them differently?)
Anyway, I looked at specs because I'd like to put an extra hard drive or two in and since I have no multimeters, can I find out through software or math what the consequences of prolonged use would be so I can avoid buying a new PSU which I didn't plan on doing just yet, especially if I'm really using an 'old' TruePower 550 Watt Antec that they now call TP380?
