The Story:
I was getting VCore voltage drops with my old Enhance 350W power supply with my Shuttle AN35N Ultra and my mobile Athlon. They're not huge dips 1.74v down to 1.71v but when I crank my Athlon past 2500MHz when the v drops, I crash. I can up the voltage to compensate for the drops but then I'll be running way too hot in the summer time.
I replaced my Enhance with an Antec True 330. I still get the dips. They're less frequent but I still get them. I suppose it's possible that my motherboard's defective but I am somewhat encouraged by the improvement I got by switching to the Antec.
I've been seeing a lot of good reviews about the Fortron but am a little concerned about the 12v rail. Since voltage stability is of paramount concern, I thought I'd check out PC P&C. Well there's no way I'm paying $179 for a power supply. Then I saw their "Silencer" line. They have a 410W model that is in my price range. I can't find any sort of comparative reviews on it however.
Any thoughts?
