Check what this person wrote on the PSU:
Purchased this PSU a year and a half ago, it has never had any problems. Currently runs the following devices and never falls below rated voltage levels:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2.12GHz
Asus A7V8X @ 177Mhz FSB
1GB Crucial PC2700 @ 354MHz
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro @ 340/340
16X Lite On DVD-ROM
40x12x48 Lite On CD-RW
(2) 60GB Seagate Barracuda IV HDDs
120GB Seagate Barracuda V 8MB cache HDD
(5) 80mm 2900RPM fans
Voltage levels currently:
+12V = 12.576
+5V = 5.026
=3.3V = 3.392
Do not listen to people who tell you to get 400W+ power supplies. Those are only best used for servers running 6-8 SCSI HDDS and multiple processors. This 350W PSU powers my entire system even with all the overclocking I do and as you can see, voltage levels are above rated. I've used it to power my old 1GHz AMD Thunderbird AXIA @ 1.4GHz and my old AMD Athlon XP 1600+ @ 1.7GHz as well.
If you purchase a 400W+ PSU then you'll be wasting your money for a majority of the wattage will NEVER be used.
Is this true?
