worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #21 THE 450w psu thats comes with that case won't be enough. Get a 500W+ from OCZ/Seasonic/Antec/Hiper etc. And you should get 800MHz RAM if you're an OC'er. Also get a mobo with the P35 chipset.

MikeReiner Golden Master Messages 5,055 Jan 12, 2008 #22 Make sure the PSU has at least 30 Amps on the 12v+ line as well. My 460 Watt enermax has 33, and it powers my 8800GT with no issues.

OP OP J Jelzahar Baseband Member Messages 49 Jan 12, 2008 #23 Ahh ok, I have fixed it up thanks everyone
worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #24 Yep, the amperage on the 12V rail is actually more important than the actual wattage. My PSU has 32A on dual 12V rails and it powers my rig just fine.

OP OP J Jelzahar Baseband Member Messages 49 Jan 12, 2008 #25 Ok... how do i know what the amprage is?
worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #26 It should tell you in the specifications. There is also a label on the side of every PSU.
OP OP J Jelzahar Baseband Member Messages 49 Jan 12, 2008 #27 Ahh ok, How is it that you overclocked your Q6600 so much?
worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #28 Some people OC even further, up to 3.6, I haven't reached the limit yet. The G0 revisions are very good OC'ers. Do you have one?

OP OP J Jelzahar Baseband Member Messages 49 Jan 12, 2008 #29 Nope i have no idea what a GO revision is? Can you link me somewhere?
worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #30 It's basically just a new revision that improves power consumption, and little issues etc. Less power conumption means lower temps and higher OCs.
