I'm getting a new PSU to replace my Enermax 330W (EG351P-VE) and here's my system:
JIUHB 1700+@2.3GHz 1.7V
Epox EP-8RDA
Samsung PC3200 512MB CL3
Triplex GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB
Linksys LNE-100TX NIC (2)
Aopen AW744 Pro
IBM DTLA-307030 HDD
Liteon LTR-32123S
Sony 48x CDROM
Chieftec DX-01WD
4 Elanvital 8cm fans (1 on heatsink + 3 case fans)
My Enermax, with the CPU overclocked, will have a lot of flunctuation on all voltage rails (except VDIMM or VDD), this makes me worried as I think the unstable voltage supply will damage the electronics, right? Please have a look at the following MBM screenshot:

In Hong Kong here, the more reliable brands available are SPI, Enermax, Topower (rebranded as Maxpower), HEC, Seventeam and Antec. I see that most of you may recommend the Antec True Power, but they're way too expensive.
According to THG's PSU shootout here, the SPI and Enermax puts out a maximum output of 454W and 389W respecitvely. How do they compare and which is better?
According to the official stats, +3.3V and +5V combined power is 220W on the SPI and 185W on the Enermax. But looking at the ampere rating at different rails, the Enermax looks better than the SPI.
SPI: 28A @+3.3V | 25.5A @+5V |15A @ +12V
Enermax: 32A @+3.3V | 32A @+5V | 26A @ +12V
My main concern is that it must have enough power to run my CPU (or any future Athlon 64) and esepcially I'm also overclocking. So which rail is the CPU voltage on, +5V or +12V? If it's on the +12V rail, is the Enermax better for AMD CPUs, since it's 26A Vs 15A here.
Thanks in advance.
