What Power Supply You Guys Running in your Athlons?

I have a 1.4 Gig. I am running an Antec 300 Watt.

I'm asking this question because AMD recommends a 400 watt for the 1.4 Gig. I want to see if most of you are indeed running one.

I am using a CompUSA 400watt. Not a bad PS. It doesn't have the vent slots on the bottom like the AMD approved ones.

HighPower 300w for 1.2 at 1.4.

Got it very cheap. There is thread over in the Hot Deals section at FerengiTech (AnandTech).

Seems to work fine.

1.2@1.48 on Enermax 550W (was supposed to also power a pelt but the 156W pelt turned out to be to small to handle this lil furnace), it's a fully loaded SCSI rig

The 430 watt Enermax on a 1.33 at 1.5 at 1.9 V. I tried the 350 watt Enermax, wouldn't do the job. Random reboots and really low core voltage with it.

Hmm... Setpha's and Kakarot's results are interesting... no?

Amdmb.com's forums' have a huge number of posts, about problems with several models of the Enermax power supplies. Even the 550 watt version was giving extremely low +5V readings for some people and causing problems. It isn't an isolated case of just a few bad ones. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another though.
