Is 300W enough for this computer?

wow asus really did something good with their website now 🙂

anyways i just d/l the manual and indeed there seems to be no option of changeing vcore...
does the bios also report vcore as being around 1.54v?

what about asus pc probe? (exit mbm5 before opening pcprobe)

The motherboard reports exactly 1.5V and PC Probe reports 1.536V.

If you missed the edit:

Appearantly the thoroughbred 1700+ processors run at 1.5V (Thermal and Electrical Specification of AMD Processors) so I think there is nothing wrong with my ps. Guess I should have mentioned that it was a thoroughbred in the first place, but thanks for helping anyway.

Sorry for all the trouble .. now to check every other possible problem.

lol
well a couple other programs
prime95
memtest86

if prime95 torture test fails, cpu error
if memtest86 fails, ram error

also leave mbm5 open to monitor voltages still for +12,+5 in prime95

The torture test ran fine and no problems with voltages. Memtest comes up with 330 errors after 1 pass. On the 2nd pass, my computer restarted itself on the 2nd test. Just before I ran memtest, the computer restarted while running UT2k3 also so I am thinking this might be the problem. I will try the memory in the other slot since I don't have a replacement ddr stick to try out. If it is the RAM, will Kingston replace it under the lifetime warranty?
