Sempron 2600+ and K8N runs on L&C B350ATX

Last night I firgued out AMD Athlon 1.4ghz (once ran on MSI KT7 266
mobo) uses 89 watts
while Sempron 2600+ uses only 62 watts so by using this logic I know it
can be done - I
swapped that MSI mobo out for a new K8N s754 with Sempron 2600+ (128kb
L2 - ugh
I know but it IS 64bit), eVGA 6200 128mb agp and added Kingston DDR400
2x256mb
while retaining CD and two WD hdd - 40gb & 4.3gb. I "repaired" WinXP to
WinXP SP2
without any majoy problems.

But what about the PSU? L&C LC-B350ATX. I know that the PSU isn't good
for hi-perf
set up but this hardware installation are all low performance but decent
enough -
should work well. Sandra 2007 reports the voltage as pictured here.

4..01 volts on line -12v??? wtf? (ASUS' cmos showed that as well.)

Hell, I fiddled around for hours and played some games last night and
today. Nothing's
wrong with it. I must be lucky....?

Don't worry about the minus voltages. Almost all show them wrong. What I
would be concerned about is the low volatge (11.65v) on the +12v line.
That's pretty low if the system was idle. you need to put the system under
full load and confirm the +12v doesn't go much lower. If it drops much
more it could cause you problems.

Thanks for the reply, Wes.

About 2 hours ago I took that L&C psu out and put in new (rarely used)
Ultra X Connect 500 watt PSU.
Now ASUS PC Probe is showing 12.06 to 12.224v. Much better.
