I've just noticed my hard drives are running really hot, and in the process of getting a front case fan my supplier has suggested I upgrade my power supply.
Currently I run an Antec 380W quiet power supply, one that came with my Sonata 1 case. In the case I have an Athlon X2 4800+, a 6600GT, and 3 seagate barracuda drives (1 IDE, 2 SATA), plus floppy and DVD writer. Peak power consumption, as I figure it, is 120W (CPU), 15W/hdd, and 80W for the GPU, total of 245W. Is that 380W power supply enough?
Thanks for any advice :-)
