PSU Questions

Is it just a generic unbranded PSU? If so I would say perhaps get one witha bit more juice, because as with all unbranded PSUs when and if they die, they will more than likely take soem comonents with them. Unbranded PSUs also tend to be much less stable on all rails than their branded counterparts as the components used to make them are cheaper....Use this link as a guide to what sort of PSU you will be needing:

Yes, shouldn't be a problem as Antec are a decent brand, if you are thinking about doing much overclocking then you might have to consider getting a larger PSU. If you haven't already got the PSU then you may wish to consider something with 400w or more as it would allow more potential for expansion. :)
 
Aha, sorry mate, didn't realise you edited it to say it was an Antec, yeah I have an Antec PSU in my Sonata and its brilliant and quiet :D
 
IMO 350 Watts is a bit low, i.e. doesn't leave a-lot of room :( What's the +12V Rail reading?

10A and 15A (there are two)

Oh +12V i think is the 15A one.


I only ask as i have got it when i should have got the 400W version. I am interested to see whether it it worth the fuss of sending it back and if it will work on the setup ok then i cba with the fuss.

If two (2) +12V Rails then thats fine, e.g. +12V1 & +12V2. Minimum should be 18A if single (like mine) & you've got roughly 25A if you combine yours :)
