Anyone have some links to what Rails are and how to use them correctly, how many amps are enough for overclocking, just general PSU info. I really need to brush up on this. I think my 350 Antec isn't quite enough to really get into overclocking, but I'm not sure. :scratch: Thanks in advance!

One good site for general info is "Computer Hope" (http://www.computerhope.com)
Here's another link Power Supplies: The shocking truth! (http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=133) that is a good read.
Here are a couple of posts about PSU (there are a few)

Where I recently first heard about the pitfalls with Eneremax :bonk: (maybe Steve gave me an excuse to get a new psu :lol: )
Hope this is what you are looking for :thumb:

Yeppers, that helps a lot. Im trying to determine if my 350 Antec PSU that came with my case is to small. I know it wont work if I decide to upgrade to a 6800 type card, but not sure if its ok for now. What I'm really curious about is I have my CPU voltage at 1.575 in the BIOS settings. CPU-Z is reading 1.488 to 1.520 voltage under load.
I have no idea if this is normal, if Im not getting enough voltage to the processor, or what. The system is stable, so I would guess its getting enough voltage, but would like to know for sure. I would guess that the reading that CPU-Z gets is straight from my BIOS because MBM reads the same setting.
