how many drives u have....and do u have a molex on yer vid card or a floppy power adapter to yer sound card....and if you have either of these or lots of drives you may tray a 400 watt PSU

i have 1 Hd 80gb maxtor, dvd rom, writer hardcano2 and 1 floppy. actually i used 2 psu, i hve generic psu with 300 wtts connected to my all fans and in my cd rom. i used my hec psu 350wtts only in my Hd, writer, main power connectd to Mobo and volcano 12. thats it..

put the 350 watt on the mobo/fans and use the 300 on ALL your drives...and then yes...try a 1.8vcore..but watch temps....on a xp2200 i'd be weary of anything over 60 loaded..i think they are rated up to 75 or 80 tho(someone knowing more about the t-bred core could help you more with this..i have only dealt with an 1800 and some bartons)

i get 11x200 @ vcore2 and its very hot.. my temp is 54 loaded. i think if i continue in vcore 2v my processor will be dead in 1 month. but il try what you hve said about above.. il try that ryt now and see what will hapeen but tnx for the time.. i appreciate thet. tnx bro!
