430 Antec - Worth Upgrading?

[turfman]

I have recently purchased a 430 Truepower before researching as I should have, should I consider changing? Any advise?

What's your concern with the Antec?

The Antec 430 Truepower is a great PSU, maybe even one of the best and I'd think you'd be very happy with that PSU powering your system. It's not too expensive either.

Thanks for the reply,

main reason is the constant remarks regarding 12v amperage being too small for decent O/Clock @ less than 30. I have some probs with high OC GT & CPU (13000 3DMark 2003) running consistently and sometimes in games. Most likely not PSU I guess but Enermax looks better specs.

I am looking at a 480W Enermax for the same money and I was thinking of exchanging. The 480 has 2x12v (15A + 16A), Antec has 12v @ 26A.

Not sure of a tangible difference but I do like the fan control on the Antec.

turbo cooled PSUs r the best.

turbo cooled PSUs r the best.

as implied above, its not just the amps but the rail stability and the AC Ripple that enters into the picture when overclocking
