Hi,
Running a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz with Xigmatek Dark Knight. Temps are nevre a problem, but Vdroop is huge. Also issues when I shut the PC down, the fans stay on and the 'on' button does not work. In fact, have to hold it down to force the PSU off (the way it would function as if windows was still running). I can then press it to boot PC. It's as if the PSU thinks the PC is still on even after shutdown. But only happens now and again.
So looking to buy a new PSU to stabilise voltages and hopefully fix this issue. At present using the stock Antec 500w that comes with the Sonata III. Is this a better replacement, and will it give me the stability I'm looking for :

If not, can you recommend any at a reasonable price. If not, I was considering this :
http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/OCZ+ModXStream+Pro+500W+Modular+Silent+SLI%2FCrossfire+Ready+ATX2.2+Power+Supply+?productId=33610
(modular and supports crossfire)
Thoughts/feedback appreciated
Regards
Luke
