New PSU Time?

[The_Lurker]

Hey, my system is as below, and i'm running 4 80mm fans, 2 80mm fans in the Power supply, 2 60mm Fans on my Alpha, 1 50mm on my Video card, with all the hardware as in my sig. I'm running htis on a Generic 250 Watt power supply and my voltages are really out of line. Under load (yeah, the voltage changes according to load on my computer, go figure), my voltages are around 11.85 for the +12 v, for the -12v, it's at -12.33, +5 is 4.972, -5 is -5.754, +3.3. is at about 3.44 and my V Core which is set at 1.85 is running at 1.82 to about 1.84. All these voltages fluctuate. Now, my question is, would this harm my system? SHould i got pick up a new Enermax 350watt power supply to increase stability? Also, would my PSU be holding me back in my Overclocking? Right now it runs at 930 fine, but i can post at 1 ghz, but not get into windows (errors and all) at all voltages (1.65 to 1.9). Any input would be appreciated!

I'll say. That's a lot of power you're drawing for a weedy little 250W PSU, especially when it's oc'd to almost a gig. Go with the Enermax, and see if you can get one with a thermal diode as well.

I second that.

O, also, would you recommend a 300watt Enermax or should i go for the 350? 450? Any ideas/

Better go for the 350watt supply minimum.

Probably the 450W.. I get the impression that this isn't the most things that are going to be hooked up to this computer in the near future. More (a resonable amount) is always better.
