Well, he didn't mention the amperage outputs, but he said 431W Enermax, from what I hear Enermax PSU's are good. I still have trouble dealing with the idea that the optimizations cause power consumption like this, but then, I have trouble with my own idea that it causes sufficient heat increase in the chipset that soon after boot.
Do most people that experience this problem also experience after a cold-boot where the system had been off for at least 10-15 minutes? And has ANYONE sucsesfully cured this problem by changing power supplies? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
