Power Supply to be an Issue?

[deweycd]

If you look at my system specs, you will notice that I only use an 385W power supply and I have a 6800GT overclocked by 10% and a AMD 64 3000+ overclocked by 10%. I have used power supply calculators before and got mixed results. Do you guys think that I am going to have problems in the future with my power supply not being strong enough? Oh and yes, I have 4 hard drives in raid 0 running all the time so that takes a bit of a boost starting up, i realize that. So far I have had no indications of power issues but reading others posts, i have become a bit concerned.

My 12V rail is rated at 15 amps 8O.

Yea, thats what i was starting to think. Its nice thought because its incredibly quiet.

There are several PSUs more powerful than yours, and still quiet, really quiet...
The 120 mm fans are delicious, the pull the heat off the CPU and PSU out of the case, and also quite quiet. You should look for one of those.

The only problem currently is the cash flow situation. But based on opinion, i will update it soon as i can.
