I'd say hybrid psus are by far the best. Fanless is extremely limited in application since they cost a lot more to guarantee fanless operation and you will have active airflow somewhere in your computer generally. Definitely a hybrid that can be fanless sometimes is the best of both worlds, you...
Also as mentioned by others, 99% chance of stability problem that is unrelated to psu, buying a psu will cure nothing most likely. Your O/C technique seems poor so far.
The proper way to oc when you run into an issue is to oc only one item with a small increase. Then test this for a few days...
Thing is most psus can at way above their maximum rating. So the so-called yearly power loss doesn't even affect the max power usage you can draw. You should be able to draw maximum rated power all the way until the end of the warranty period and probably far beyond. There is no bs about...
Unless they changed the psu, the 150w is pretty low quality and not very quiet. That's also the main reason I went with the 65. Plus it takes up less space inside the case.

Btw personally I run a Core i3-2100 on the ISK 300-65, and had planned to upgrade to a 90w adapter if it didn't work. However I did full tests including max load on both cpu/graphics + optical drive and didn't get above like 60 watts. Also tested some games successfully and I'm of the conclusion...
I forgot the links, but I can guarantee this is true. You can check the internal power converter for the 300-65 and note it handles far more power than 65 watts. I'd say to be on the safe side something like a 90-120w power adapter would work well. The only other thing is making sure the power...
Once you go modular it's hard to go back. That's one thing I noticed. The magic of not having extra cables cluttering your computer is amazing. Beyond extra cost, modular has no disadvantages over non-modular. The only issue is poorly designed connectors and you don't see that on any high...
Yea there's definitely some danger that server usage won't be that great either, but I'm guessing that high integer performance will actually possibly be useful here. And that is the main advantage bulldozer has if anything. Also I assume they'll have ways to decrease power consumption via...
I actually feel sad right now. Bulldozer is so bad for so many of the reasons everyone has already stated. I was really hoping for the next Athlon/Athlon64, instead we got basically the next AMD K5. If you remember that chip, it just wasn't competitive and it took the K6 for AMD to finally be...
Truly a disappointment. I was hoping for something with moderate ipc increases and a small to decent advantage over sandy bridge in highly threaded apps. Instead, I get lower ipc, slow l2/l3 cache, not even beating sandy bridge in many highly threaded situations. Really I can only see bulldozer...
Uh I'm not sure if you realize this, but a computer with a single video card is generally not even going above 300w. You have way more than enough headroom here.
Actually this setup should work perfectly fine on even a high quality 500w. Now mind you, this OCZ psu is on the mediocre side, but since it's 650w, should be more than enough.
