I'm hoping to get some advice on if a psu upgrade is needed? Here is my current system setup
C2D E6600@3.72
2 gig ddr2
6800gt@ ultra speeds
Gigabyte Ga-965p-ds3 mobo
5 hd's total 2 setup in raid 0
X-fi extreme music
1 optical drive
6 120mm fans
1 cm stacker crossflow fan
3 80mm fans
Aquaextreme 50z water pump
2 12" cathode lights
current psu is an original OCZ powerstream 600 28a on 3.3v rail, 46a on 5v rail
20a on 12v rail 1, and 18a on 12v rail2
I am planning to upgrade my vid card to a newer high end dx10 card gtx or
R600? Im afraid I could be really stressing the limits on my current psu? I don't have reboot problems playing games or stressing everything at one. I do think there might be a little struggle on booting with higher oc's as the mobo sometimes reset itselt. I can run the system all day @3.72 stressing cpu and vid card 12hrs plus but it sometimes resets its self in bios at bootup.
Thanks
