Upgrading my PSU has really helped...

When I built my computer 3-4 months ago I got a cheap 500W PSU that seemed to work fine initially, easily oc'd my 3200+ winchester to 2.5GHz. Recently it's been playing up, particularly with rebooting during boot if there is a cd in the drive. I looked at the 12V voltage with smart guardian when everything was working, and sure enough it was only at 11.58V. Figured the PSU was not working well and upgraded to a Powerstream 520W.

Worked a treat, now up to 2.58GHz (see sig), and perfectly on 12V whatever I do...

SWEET!

So, as has been said many times already, don't skimp on the PSU...

Now I'm looking forward to getting an X2 4400+ in a couple of months, reckon it will fly...
