wow were you stress testing? prime95?

A 90W replacement would be enough....I opt for the 120W just so I might have more choices when upgrading Wink

First minor issue ... Hookbag.ca sent me the wrong RAM. Hopefully the RMA process won't be painful. BTW, Beer, are you using the fan that comes with the case or just the CPU Cooler?
Oh, I also have one of these, assume this should work fine? Though it's big as hell.

i dunno about Hookbag.ca in general,
i feel their new in the business,
no the typical place i'd buy stuff tho...
but if u paid using PayPal, should be well covered if anything.

Beer40 does use the fan that comes with the case,
he set it to lowest speed using the controller in the back of the case...

however, he could have also removed it as his Big Shuriken is all he needs for cooling.

again, u got the wrong Power Brick specs...
i made a thread that xplains exactly the brick needed...
