Does it run off the 5v or 3.3v line. I'm looking to buy a new psu and wanted to know if i should be looking for better 3.3 or 5v lines. When i o/c my chip only my 5v line is reducing to like 4.7 when 1.4@1.6 Athlon. What PSU's do you guys recommend for a system, 2 7200rpm hdd's, dvd, GF3, athlon overclocked a shigh as it will go(system crashes while stablity testing at 1.4@1.6 as the line dips beneath 4.68 at 1.58Ghz it satys at 4.7 and remains stable, been on form about 8days). I've got quite a bit of cash, should I buy a huge psu so i don't need an upgrade in the next few years, like a 550w enermax, what other PSU's are supposed to be good, what generic brands are supoosed to be ok, Macron, Deer? Any help would be fine, and even though I have the case for a 55W enermax, i'd prefer to spend money on other stuff, ie/ I'm a cheap student to tell me what budget PSU to get!!
