I don't know either.You still haven't read what everyone has told you about the 12V rail. I don't know why we bother.

What do the reviews say?
Can you even find any?
As I said before....only good stuff (or potentially good stuff) gets reviewed, so you can assume that if there are no independent reviews available, then it is most likely crap.
You want to hit 10x270?
What are the default speeds of your chip?
If, as I assume, they are 10x200, then reaching 270 might well be impossible unless you have invested in ace RAM and have a motherboard that supports (and provides) overvolting the chip/RAM.
You cooling had better be excellent too, cause that's gonna run hotter than a pistol.
It's just not as easy as saying you wanna.....

According to David Hammock at extremeoverclocking.com , http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...&postcount=197.
Lol, yeah my motherboard supports overvolting and my ram is supposed to hit atles 270-280FSB. I'm only hoping that my processor will be able to have 2.5 ghz speed (original is 2GHZ)

Ok, I'll buy that (even though I have no idea who that guy is or what methodology he used to arrive at his recommendations)...at least someone is saying that's a respectable PSU, so fine.
Go for it and good luck.
As far as the overclocking goes...
A64s are not generally thought of as great overclockers.
Especially the s754 chips which have a less than ideal memory controller.
You may have to run your RAM on a divider which could lead to a hit on RAM performance.
Only benching the system will tell.
Simply hitting 2.5 or 2.7GHz means nothing without stability.
If you can run Super Pi or Prime 95 for 24 hrs without errors you should be fine.
Many seemingly stable systems crash out of these tests within minutes.

yeah voltage is a big issue when overclocking amd's. i tried overclocking my xpu with my case's psu (an aspire 350watt with 12v@12A) , i got it up to 2.4ghz but the volatage was 1.73v :x

Not necessarily.
I've read that the Hammer and Winchester cores don't really repond to higher voltages like the Athlons used to.
I think a significant clock ( like you are hoping for) is a far trickier procedure than cranking the old XP was.
For one thing, the BIOS options are confusing (if not hidden) and figuring out what is what takes more energy than I'm willing to spend.
After all, your chip, even at stock speeds, is light years ahead of the majority of PCs in use.
Hell, my new video card has more RAM and processing power than the majority of my customer's CPUs. :crying:

I was able to return it to newegg and recived an 85% refund (they charge 15% restocking fee). Hopefully i may get a new psu in no time..
