How high CPU with a Antec 330 watts supply??

[sterling]

HI All

Whats the highest Intel processor an Antec 330 Watt True power supply can handle. What the highest AMD processor this supply can handle. I'm just building a basic system with one hard drive.

thanks

Ive put a 1700+ (t-bred) on a 300 watt power-supply on a epox 8rda+ I don't know if the voltages change as the ratings creep to 3000+ but its is the same core... Sice you dont have much on there (i take it no lan sound etc?) then you wont be drawing much power tin the first place... a good question though... did you check with AMD?

With your basic system, I don't think you have to worry about the power supply too much.
With my Antec 300 Watts power suppy I have:
ASUS P4P800 DLX
Intel P4 2.4C oc to 3.0GHz
2x256 MB 3200 DDR memory sticks
ATI Radeon 9800 oc with bios to 9800 Pro
4 hard drives: 1 15K scsi, 1 10k scsi, 2 7200 IDE
1 DVD+RW burner
1 scsi cd+rw
adaptec 29160 scsi card
Winfast TV2000 dlx tv turner card
1 firewire card
1 usb 2.0 card
5 extra case fans

Everything stable with a mere 300 watts antec power supply. Higher is always better but if I can load my system with everything I have then hey, a 330 antec should work just fine for you.

That 330 can handle ANYTHING you throw at... Reguardless if you are overclocking a 1700+ or a 3200+ vica versa with the Intel too...

You can even have multiple hard drives and a few LED's if you wanted.
