I just have a quick question about PSU's
I understand the concept that the # of rails on your PSU essentially divides that wattage going out of the PSU, instead of devices sharing the same load. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm not sure though on whether I should have more or less of them.
I'm about take my first steps into overclocking and these are my system specs:
C2D E8400
ASUS P5Q Deluxe
Sapphire Radeon 4850 (intend to eventually upgrade to 5850)
G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1100 (PC2 8800) Quad Kit
SoundBlaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer
my current PSU is OCZ 600W http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_600w_stealthxstream_power_supply
I was wondering if that would be good enough, or if I should upgrade.
As well, is more or less 12v rails better for a gaming rig?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
