Well, after opening up my PC case for the first time, i was suprised to see that i had this PSU:

ThermalTake TR2-550, which is a 550w psu.

The Company i bought the PC off said i had a hiper 530w lol.

Is the THermaltake any better than the hiper? Its not top of the line or anything, and i think its only atx 2.0, but could i finnally try overclocking without thinking my computer will go boom?

lots of threads on here about hipers blowing up - haven't seen too many negative posts (or any posts for that matter) on the thermaltake.
prolly not much help ;), but worth mentioning I think.
