Hi all. I'm putting together an overclocked C2D system. I've been at it for nearly two months, but I am finally coming to a conclusion and things seem to be coming together fine.
I'l have a E4300 running at around 3.0ghz on a GA-965P-DS3 Rev 3.3. I'll use a 1gb stick of G Skill DDR2 800mhz running at 800-900mhz (~2.2Vdimm) and my video card will be a eVGA Geforce 7900GS 256mb KO.
For now, I'll use a single ATA Seagate 120Gb harddisk (7200 rpm) and a optic drive. In the future I'll probably use some sort of Sata harddisk together with what I already have.
My case will have 2 extra fans (12v) and I'll stick to the stock cpu hsf. In the future I might switch to a Tuniq Tower (don't know if that may be affected by the power supply enough to be taken into consideration) in order to get to the final oc at around 3.0ghz.
I looked at many different power supplies, an found that the COOLER MASTER RS-550-ACLY sounded interesting (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817171009 ).
Do you think it can handle this system stable 24/7? If not, could you please show me some different ones in it's price range ( $100-$130 max) ?
Thanks in advance,
Horacio
