OCZ PS 520

[Adidas4275]

I have an OCZ powerstream 520w PSU

I have 3 HDDS 1 raptor 2 caviers
7800gtx
x2 3800
DFI SLI-DR
1 DVD -RW drive
12v watercooling (laing DCC pump)
2 tv tunercards PCI
and 3 120mm 70CFM fans
and a Matrix orbital LCD

is this too much for my PSU

my OC has stopped at 2.5 GHZ no matter what vcorei i give it up to 1.65v

i noticed just now that CPU-Z is reporting 1.552-1.536 fluctuating... never saw and flucuation with my single core opteron

I know CPUz under reports... i have my vcore set at 1.4258x110%= 1.56vcore

but i dont like that it goes doewn to 1.536

i got this PSU becasue I read it was a really good one and could handle an SLI setup..

I dont even have 2 GPUs and i think it is close to its limits... i have bumped my rails up some... 12v rail @ 13v 5v rail @ 5.13 3.3v rail @ 3.39

can i do anything to get this PSU to run better..

will removing one HDD provide and help?

Maybe your cpu can't clock anymore, reached the highest it'll go? Try backing off the multiplier and throw in a 2:1 divider, to see if it'll beat 250 fsb. Maybe your ram? Same, 5x multi and a 1:1 divider.

yeah i can run over 340 fsb.... my opteron 144 i had would do 3060 (340x9)

my opty 165 isn't stable past 2.55ghz, even if I add 0.2v.

my best friend's 165 won't go past 2.3ghz, no matter how much voltage he adds

 

[Adidas4275]

id sell that opteron 165 and get something that will clock better..

that is terrible for the cost you paid..

i have the same thing for $150

oh wait you have 1mb cashe..... nm it doesnt really matter

Could be just the CPU. I have a 3800 that doesn't OC as well as my old 3200. And now I have a 4000 that OC's just peachy.

Also, is that OCZ 520ADJ a green LED or blue. If it's blue, you're golden. If it's green, it could be a voltage issue as it's something I've seen with those early 520ADJ models, but I still doubt it.

An excellent PSU.
