Prehaps someone could suggest a QUITE 600w + PSU.

 

During testing I kept a close eye on the VCORE readings and the 12v readings. The VCORE seemed to go up and down at higher clocks but seems to be stable at lower clocks. EG. I would set the VCORE to say 1.55 v but the reading in monitors would say 1.52 and would go down even furthur during testing. The 12v reading was going down bellow 11.96 and wasnt going back up to 12.00 durring testing at 1.6v ++. Prehaps the CPU isnt getting enough stable current.

You want a recommendation for a PSU, wait until OCZ comes out with their GamerXStream Series PSU's, 600w/700w reasonable prices too. I believe they are already on BACK ORDER for the Pre-Order at ZipZoomFly, hehehe. Get one!!!!!

QUESTION>>I have mine at 260*11=2.86 at 1.65v with 2 3 5 2 @ 1T. My MBM says 29degrees Idle, 35-38 on a Load. Is this fine temps to keep my 3700 @ 2.86?
