Possibly need a new PSU? (opt 165 oc)

[mattjbak]

Here's the situation. I have a modstream 450w PSU and here are the other items:

Ultra-D
Opteron 165 (2.65 Ghz @ 1.525v)
2 x Optical drive
74 Gb Raptor
320 GB WD SATA
Audigy 2 ZS Plat
x850xt PE
OCZ Gold 2x512mb 2-2-2-5 @ 220 Mhz @ 3.0v

Idle temp:~34c
Load temp: ~ 40c

I can't seem to get past this and be stable even going up to 1.6v or increasing the ram voltage (i have run with a larger divider to take ram out of the equation as well.)

I'm wondering if it's possibly the smaller rated PSU that is failing me... let me have your thoughts...

Thanks,

Matt

Nah I do not think its a PSU. I am willing to bet its a bios setting, these DFI's can O/C like a dream, but also require some serious tweaking Check out DFI street, good place for bios tweaks. Also have you dropped your memory down to around 200? B/C not all Opterons are created equal and your mem controller might be on the weaker side

What are you using to cool that rig?
