I have an enermax 350 watt PSU, my 12 volt is currently at -12.3, my 5 at -5.25, and my +3.3 is at 3.28, but one thing i do notice is a fluxuation in my v-core, it changes intermittently from 1.7 to as low as 1.65, I forget what it is in the bios to tell you the truth. Are these good voltages for the 6800. I am currently runninc an NF7-s Version 2, 2600m oced to 2.4, one dvd burner, 3.5 floppy and one 80gig sata WD. Also I am running a fan controller with 3 fans connected to it, and some cool blue neon lights. What do you guys think, my 5950 runs great right now.
 
You shouldn't have any problem. That Enermax is one of the best PSU around and has insanely high 12V@26A. That's lot higher than most 450-550W PS.
 
Awesome, just wanted to make sure, I cant wait I have the 5900 on ebay, will sell for 200+, then buy a 6800 for twice the performance, and only about 50 dollars more.
 
The enermax 350w will work just fine with the 6800. I agree, Enermax makes a nice quality powersupply. I would recommend upgrading to a 430 or 480w if you start adding additional drives though as I am not familiar with what power requirements the neon lights have.
 
I don't put much faith in Enermax. I had (2) of the fancier 350watt PSU's go bad on me. First one almost made it a year, and the warranty replacement made it about the same amount, but was not covered under warranty. Both died from the Enermax low +5v death, which has been well documented as a known issue with Enermax 350watt PSU's. It is possible they have repaired the issue on newer supplies.

However, now that I have had my NO ENERMAX FOR ME EVER RANT, I will add that my 6800 Limited Edition flashed to an ULTRA is running just fine off my Antec 350watt Smart Blue that came standard in my Antec Lanboy case 🙂
