Overclocking with 430W PSU. I was trying to overclock my 1.2GHz Athlon to at least 1.4GHz but I found that Prime95 fails at 1.4GHz with my Abit KT7A. BTW, I'm using a 430W Enermax Whisper PSU. What is the problem? I have a feeling that it's not a CPU instability...

a crappy PSU and it can't hang you're gonna complain to them and they gotta deal with it. Anyway I'd probably go by the outer vision calculator as far as minimum watts which, with everything at 100% and no overclocking, is about 430W. Even though that's...

time, for an overclocked system to be stable, the voltages have to be increased on certain components (as I am sure you are aware), and that probably cause the PSU to fail even faster. I wouldn't have run that system on anything less than 430W, and if overclocking,...

PS if I don't need it. I'm cheap, LOL. "There's no such thing as gravity, the Earth just sucks" Definately enermax... they are the best. the 350W should be ample for most. 430W if you the power for overclocking with room to spare. 550W enermax if you...

after a few days.. If the PSU is exactly at the right power you might have limited overclocking... I stress might.. Anyway, you will be cutting it mighty close with a 430w PSU. It should work.. but I would never risk it personally. Chances are it will...

Who needs a 530W Enermax PSU?. OK, is a 430W PSU enough for a fully loaded, highly overclocked, super-aircooled PC? I expect by 2002, my system will feature: AthlonXP 1800+, 1GB SDRAM (yes, on my KT133A mobo), an AIW Radeon 8500DV, Promise RAID controller,...

the main reason I got this chip was to overclock it...haha So it looks like I should get a new PSU? I want to Overclock, and I may want to 2x crossfire or SLI a little later on, would this have enough power? You could do some light overclocking....

HD 4850 on 430w PSU. Hi folks, I am planning to upgrade my 8600GT to HD 4850. I'm concerned whether my Cooler Master RS-430-PCAR can handle it. I don't have much components on my machine: Core2 e6550 Micro ATX motherboard 2 1gb ddr2-800 memory 1 sata 250gb...

instead: $69after rebate. Much more solid PSU. 80% effeciency. How can you say there is no problem and still be concerned??? 430w is indeed fine with some room to overclock that cpu... duial 1.8ghz is a little too slow for a high end gpu. I...

Antec 430W Power Supply TRUE430" ($76 @ Newegg). I use the same PS with a A7N8X Deluxe board w/ Radeon 9500 Pro and an overclocked 1800+ to 2400+. 100% stable with literally 0 problems. 3) Yes, you can expect to overclock using the stock cooler. Of course...
