ok I have a psu that came with my case and it sux apparently. I have 18a on the 12v. Thats what goes to the mobo. Now I know that more amps to the mobo help but it what way. Like if I over clock the cpu I need more power. Would having this shortage in amps casue errors in the vid card, processor, and memory while trying to overclock. aslo if this has already been discussed please link me to it since my search turned up nothing. thanx.
 
Well if there isn't enough power to go around to all the stuff that you are OC'ing, they won't be able to run due to shortage in power. Everything needs to be powered to run correctly. If you have a small PSU then you wouldn't be able to OC much anyways.
