Soundblaster Live X-Gamer 5.1

250 Watt PS already on here from my Enlight 7237 Case.

Please let me know if I should upgrade my PS. I'm having random reboots while burning... but thats the only time it randomly reboots. Someone mentioned that I should upgrade my PS because the PS isn't putting enough juice out to the Plex. All your comments are welcomed. Thanks!

I would tend to agree... I think those 16x writers draw a lot of power...

If you touch/feel where the ps is (on top of the case). if it is not "hot" then you should need a new ps. But according to your spec... it should have any problems since "desktop pc" have on 145w-235w to operate.


Then again i could be wrong since the ps don't take into consideration the oc factor.
