psu size

[young lad]

Hi i am looking at conroe but wondering if my psu would be ok or would need even more cash my specs are;

3700+ 1.475v 2.9
2gb RAM
160gb harddrive
x1800xt

Would that be ok to run a spec around a 6300 and overclock the nuts off it all apart from the x1800xt.

I currently have my 3700+ @ 1.475 volts have ran it at 1.5v before

Ok, What?

What PSU do you have?

 

[young lad]

an antec 400w which came with the case the slbuk30080 or something

Well i can't do the math because its really late and it would probably be wrong, but i would get a tagan with a bit more wattage or some other brand... Antec is ok, but 400w... is a bit to little...

400w is at the lower end when it comes to overclocking, Conroes do use less in the way of wattage than A64s I believe but if you want to overclock to its full potential I'd be thinking about a PSU 450w+. You should be able to get a decent price for your existing PSU.
