I've currently got a 480 watt (I think) power supply but just noticed that I'm only getting just over 10 volts on the 12v rail. I'm guessing 480w isnt powerful enough.

My spec is:

Core 2 Duo E4600 CPU overclocked to 3ghz
ATI HD4870
3 x SATA hard drives
1 x Blu Ray Drive
4gb RAM

Anyone know what power PSU I need?

Thanks

Are you having any problems with the PC?

Is it a half decent power supply?

Nah it seems to be running OK tbh. Was only a cheap one off ebuyer but had lots of good reviews so took a chance with it. Just checked the voltages by going into the BIOS and it is reading over 12v but when i check using CPUID hardware monitor it says 10.12v...

If you aren't having problems I really wouldn't worry about it, i'd trust the BIOS more as well.
