Anyone...

Guys, I previously had a 400W psu in my system until today when it finally burned out.
So I stuck some 160W one in there.
The system seems to be running perfect, not restating, not cutting out, not halting, nothing.

Its a P4, 1.6 OCled to 2.2 and got a Ti 4400 in there..
Other then that no serious power demands..

Would there be cause for concern if they system was underpowered as such?
I mean from previously being powered by 400W to know powered at 160W, would anything happen?

Thanks folks!

You should see issues if it was underpowered

quality > quantity

id rather have an awesome 160watt PSU than a POS generic 400.

Lot of Wattage != good PSU
