Overclocking Opteron 165
Overclocking Opteron 165
I have a 430w thermaltake ps and overclocked to 2.7ghz with a bunch of other components including x700pro and 2gb ram, 3 hard drives and 4 optical drives etc, but the computer would turn on and take 20 seconds til it started to boot.
I am looking at a new ps and I was wondering if 600w would be enough???
Thanks guys

what do you mean the computer won't turn on and it take 20 sec till it started to boot? Do you mean that the system will take 20 seconds until you see the bios screen? If that's the case, it's possible that you oc a bit too high and system is checking to see if it can run at that speed.
600W should be enough for your setup but also check each rails and make sure you have strong enough 12v rail

Do you have fast boot enabled or any hard drive checking options checked?
It sounds like it's hanging a little bit. A beefier PSU might help, as long as you don't skimp on it.
Dropping the overclock or loosening up your timings might help.

I have had one of those 430 watt psu's and was not very impressed. I would deff get at least a 500w (and a good one). I have a OCZ 600w and have been very pleased. That is what is in the computer in my sig....
