For some reason when i turn on games at higher RPM's on all my fans with the fan controller the games always load up prety crappy. And when i turn my RPMs to prety low the games run at really great FPS... is it possible this is due to my powersupply?
I did several test with some of the fan's on low and then ran it, and then when i turned up a fan. the graphics just went downin FPS.
PSU: Thermaltake 480w PurePower (i noticed all thermaltake powrsupplys was on the sticky list of NOT to get except for the 500W PurePower.... so i guess mines on the list on one not to get)
System: Athlon Barton 2800 @ 1.925 Vcore (multi on 11.5)
Ram: Corsair PC-2700 but it is running at 210 FSB with the DIMM volts set on max 2.9V (timings 2-2-2-11)
Fans: 5 80mm tornado fans, 1 92 tornado (on a Thermalright SI-97A) and then the 2 80mm fans in the powersupply.
1 Fan controller. by Vantec, it can turn the fans to fully blast to completely off. but it still doesn't run the fans at REALLY low RPM sometimes, so its still kinda louder then i want it to be. and then i just have 1 DVD burner drive with no other drives. and 1 Encore TV tuner... 1 AGP Nvidia 7800 GS OC, and then a SD Audigy 2 Value.
does this sound like my powersupply can't handle it? it gets annoying how i have to turn down my fans and restart my computer each time i want to play a game. Or sometimes when i mess with the fans i have to restart the computer with the fans at a certaint setting before the games will load up correctly and play at high FPS. I just want to make sure i don't wast my money and that this sounds like the problem.
