The main thing is, I'll get a 320 Meanwell for the 226 W CPU pelt, what is the prefered way to power the 80W GPU pelt?

I was thinking of going to the Enermax 651 (from my crapola Antec 350). Does one run the pelt off of the main PSU? What are the typical real world volt/amp/watt requirements?

From Swiftec's site:

Power Supply Requirements: minimum 7.5A at 12 volts

So does one run this thing off of the main PSU?

Another concern is that I am already at 288/3.46 (3D stable) on my 2.4c in my ASUS P4P800DX. I can boot and surf the Web at 300/3.6, but not benchmark stable (yes, nice chip, I know). And that's on air - I haven't even run this chip on water yet (since the board died).

Is a pelt fool's gold under these circumstances? I mean, how high can that FSB go? I saw one test that had it at 329 @ 3:2 ratio.

So I guess the second question is, what are the highest FSB's people have been getting on the ASUSs?

This is my first post here - TIA for your wisdom.
