Hi all.
Im getting a new case as the Antec LAnboy I use looks good and is easy to carry but it does not do a very good job at being silent.

The ANTEC P150 is a sweet looking case I've been eyeing for a while.
However, It does come prefitted with an Antec Neo HE 430Watt PSU.
Was it the Neo HE that has problems with ASUS A8N series boards?

This psu has triple +12v rails rated at 16A, ie a total of 48. Would this be good enough to make me reach 2.6ghz with my 0551WMPW 165 Opty, sitting on an ASUS A8N-E together with the x1800XT, 2x SATA discs and a DVD writer?

Any ideas friends?

many thanks.
 
The 430 was the one that had problems when if first came out but it was fixed almost instantly. I haven't had problems with mine (see sig). The Neo HE is also almost virtually silent. The loudest thing in my case is a 5v akasa orange and its quieter than that. Its a hell of a lot quieter than my old hiper or a tagan as well.

I cant really answer the power question but it works fine with my setup.

Could someone please provide a link to a wattage approximation website?

Thanks

If it has 48A on the 12v rail,i don't see why i would'nt run it all.The only slight concern i would have is the X1800XT is a power hungry beast !
