PSU temp monitor

Good articles Huney. I have a el cheapo psu also, but the reason I haven't purchased a new one is for the following reasons.

1) I knew that if I bought a 2600m, then I could overclock it to about where I had before for the 2600 desktop I had and then see if the psu could hold and if I ever reached the psu's max, I would drop down a multiplier and up my fsb, since the cpu tends to be the most power hungry and I like a high fsb. This might not make much sense, but I figured that I could reach a fairly high overclock with low voltage fluctuations by running a higher fsb and lower clock speed than I normally could.

2) The second reason being that I had a choice between getting a Radeon 9800 Pro or a PCP&C psu. I had a 9200, so I like gaming more than I do overclocking and so I went with a cheaper psu, aka the free one I got with a case. I've checked the rails when the priming, and they are fairly stable, they are within 10% of the value and they don't spike at all from what I could see, although I'm sure they do when I'm not looking But good articles on the psu's. I liked the Tom's Hardware guide.

huneycutt, thank you for your concern, but I have been looking around at the to gets, and what not to gets for a bit. I had a 250watt one that this eMachine came with, and it would be able to suport my 9600 oc'd to its full potential before it crashed. But, everything else was fine. I probably have all that I will have in this case for a long time (untill I upgrade mobo, cpu, and ram). By the time of my upgrade, it will be fine with me to get rid of this $60 down to $20 PSU. It allows me to run my system at 'full potential', and that's all I was looking for.
