The Road to 3.5GHz on air

[Repoman]

Under 80$ is to little money to spend on a PSU if you are aiming for 3.5 GHz, trust me

Under $80 for a PSU is fine for a 3.5GHz AMD. They don't use that much power.

Still... under 80$ is CHEAP-ASSED! And can get you from to..... ...
Paying some extra bucks to make sure that you get quality isn't bad!

And AMD requires power to, this is my fourth (4th) PSU! And finally... with a peak power of 44amps everything is stable! And that at only 1.45V!!! So saying that AMD DONT require power is plain and simple crap

Believe what you want man. I had an Opty 165 @ 3.0 (1.5v), 8800GTX clocked to 621/1566/1026, five or six fans, HDD, two optical drives, and water pump running on a 535w Enermax PSU.. and it ran damn well. And oh gee, look at the price

Um.. congratulations? I would expect it to be stable with that PSU.. I would also expect it to be stable with any good 400+ watt power supply. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people overestimating how much power their rig needs, seriously it probably pulls 250-300 watts at load

Quit spreading BS

edit: Anything off of this list is fine.

I trust this man's opinions on power supplies more than anyone else's.
