MSI neo 2 power supply

[touchmyichi]

I've heard people having poor operation of this board due to the power supply. I currently have this. It won the anandtech power supply roundup a little over a year ago.... but do you guys think it has enough juice for this? here's the stats - Output: +3.3V@28A;+5V@40A;-5V@0.3A;+12V@15A;-12V@0.8A;+5VSB@2A

The link's website was down, but if it's the 400w fortron, you should be ok. My sparkle (fortron) is only rated at 300 watts, but still runs my p4 overclocked by 30%.

yeah its a 400 watt fortron

Give it a try and let us know. The 15 amps on the 12+ rail may be cutting it a bit close.

Try it, but I'm worried about your +12V amperage; MSI recommends at least 20A. You probably won't fry anything if you see if your current supply works, though.
