I currently have a 250W PSU and need more juice. All the reputable manufacturers that I've seen max out at 250W for mATX. I've seen some 350s on eBay, but question their quality. Before I try to squeeze an ATX-sized PSU into a micro ATX case, I'd like to hear your suggestions. Thanks.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Shopping for a micro ATX PSU...

Fortron offers a 270 W Micro ATX power supply, the FSP270-50SNV. Even if you can only find the 250 W version, don't fret because Fortron power supplies have a history of being under-rated in terms of power capacity.
Another smart choice would be the Enermax EG265S-VE, a 265 W supply. Like before, the 250 W version would suffice and enjoys greater availability, but both power supplies should serve you well.
By the way, what made you decide that the power supply was the culprit?

I can't get past POST when my CPU is OCed greater than 2.6ghz. I've tested the CPU on my ATX system (430w) at 2.9ghz and it's stable. Also, my computer randomly reboots when the processor is at load, but I can't increase the fan speed on my HSF because that will trigger a reboot also. Everything is stable at 2.5ghz--no matter what I throw at it.
