OK, I had posted up a question in the power supply forum, but really haven't been getting any responses to it, so I figured I would ask here.
I currently have an Antec SL350 Smartpower power supply.
The higher up I go with my Vcore, the lower the 12V rail goes. Stock Vcore, it sits at 11.82V, now that I have it at 1.42V, it's at 11.76V.
I am looking at a new power supply, and the 2 that seem to stand out are the Antec 550W and Sparkle 550W.
Both appear to come with 24 pin and 8 pin connectors, the sparkle I hear comes with the adapters to go to 20pin/4pin however.
The Sparkle has active PFC which is nice, the Antec does not.
For a power hungry prescott, which of these 2 would you recommend? Or are there others I should look at?
I am looking to spend no more than around $100 which is the price that both of these are at.
