Nubius said:I don't know 4W, I built an AMD64 system and used that Ultra 500w Modular Connection PSU....and weak rails??? Last time I looked at the rails it had 30a for the +12v which is higher than most PSU's you'll ever see.....oops just looked and it says 34a even higher than I thought...30a for the +5 and 28a for the +3.3 seems to be about the right average for most PSU's I've seen, so I don't really think it has weak rails.
Nubius said:Well I was more looking at the actual ampere rating on the rails not so much the actual voltage when in use for his system. My +12v is at like 11.86 but I've got now 10 case fans running, 1 on the CPU which is the tornado which sucks a lot of power, 2 in the PSU, and the fact that the system is OC'd to 2.6GHz
(BTW I've been 'practicing' RAM oc'ing so instead of 166FSB I've got it up to 186 and thus far thats the highest I got it to go, at 187 it produces errors up the ass but I haven't fully gone back in and gone about it the way you suggested in my thread where I asked ) My +3.3 is at 3.36 and +5 at 5.03
Yes stock 2.6 VDimm and timings of 2.5-3-3-7 so technically I should be able to get it higher right? I tried loosening the cycle time to 8 and upping the Dimm to 2.7 but I still got errors on the first test which generally is a sign that your RAM is really on the verge of getting pushed too far lol...186 is very nice, still stock timings and voltage?
