Power Supply - Is it adequate?
Hi,
This question has been nagging me for sometime now. I have an Antec 1030 case with an Antec 300W PSU and wanted to know if I have enough power. The reason I ask is because I quite frequently get my system rebooting during games and sometimes just while surfing.
System Specs:
EPOX 8RDA+ M/B
AMD 2500+ Barton (O/C to 3200) 200MHZ FSB
512 MB OCZ PC3200 Ram
2 Harddrives (20gig Maxtor) (17.4 gig Fujitsu)
1 - CDRW
1- CDROM
Hercules Soundcard
Gainward Geforce4 4200 Graphics Card 128MB (Sometime OC'd)
21" Viewsonic CTR Monitor
4 - 90mm Case fans
1 - 120mm Case fan
My system voltages in the USDM Software read the following.
Vdd: 1.632 V
Vcore: 1.632 V
Vdimm: 2.704 V
+5V: 4.838 V
+12V: 11.856 V
-12V: -12.363 V
-5V: -5.250 V
Vbat: 3.12
5VSB: 5.018 V
I don't know what these voltages should be but these are consistent with what I usually notice.
Do I need a bigger PSU and if so can someone tell me what I should get?
Thanks
