A little concerned...

[sparka]

Well, my opteron 144 CAB2E 0545MPMW just came in today. However, I am a little concerned at how much power this processor is going to take.
I am going to do overclocking. Most likely 2700mhz @ 1.6v.
The only reason i'm concerned is because I only have a 430W power supply.
You guys think this is enough?

Here are my specs:

Antec TP II 430W
EpoX 9NPA+ Ultra
C3D X800GTO 16p, 520/540
Opteron 144 (maybe 2700 @ 1.6v?)
2 x 512 Corsair VS
WD 160gb 7200 rpm
WD 80gb 7200rpm

Thanks in advance

I think you will do fine.

Your power supply will be more than sufficient for the task.

You probably don't need to run it at 1.6V. My 144 does 2.7GHz at 1.45V fine.

Download this program, it will give you specific information about the wattage of your AMD cpu: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83

You have 17 Amps on the CPU rail (12V Rail 2, I think), which means that your CPU could draw 200+ watts and your PSU would still be able to take it. When you open up your PC check the venting grilles and make sure there's nothing blocking the air flow.
