MY 420W OKIA Generic PS (pos is more like it) just died on me and I need a replacement fast. I want to try and not spend over $100 cdn on a new PS, but I'm not sure which would be a good choice for my rig: (in the signature)
It's overclocked as high as it will go stable, just under 2.5 Ghz @ 1.825 Vcore right now, and with the old power supply, Motherboard Monitor showed that my -12V line was around -14V and my -5V was around -6.25V.
The old supply had these ratings:
420W MAX
+3.3 - 28A
+5 - 40A
+12 - 18A
-12 - 1.0A
-5 - 1.0A
-5SB - 3.0A
Apparently, this wasn't good enough considering this supply only lasted a few months.
Apart from what's in my SIG, I have 2 DVD drives, 1 7200 rpm hdd, 3 80mm fans, 4 USB devices and a 12V relay that turns on the watercooler.
What kind of line ratings do I need to power this OC'd rig? Any PS recommendations?
