    Forgot to mention that I've got a BFG 6800GT OC video card in there as well. I would run Doom III at Ultra levels on this OC'ed system without problems ... hardly even notices the extra work.

      I haven't forgotten about you Wombat. I downloaded MBM yesterday but the HTPC has been tied up and I haven't had a chance to install and run it yet. I'll try and run MBM today.

      I checked my ASUS Probe history and I'm almost always at 3.28v on the 3.3v line. I don't know what the most accurate way of measuring the lines is but I don't put too much faith in what's being reported by the MB. I don't feel like hassling with attaching a meter and then there still is the question of the best way to take those readings. I feel that the proof is in the pudding and if you can stress your machine with all the devices running then you're good to go. How's the PS working out for you so far?

        The system is running stable. CPU and case temps are the same as they were with the Allied supply. But the system is definitely quieter. I'm considering replacing my CPU fan. I've got a ThermalTake V9 in there right now, and it's getting a little noisy. I've got a 120mm fan I scavenged, and I'm thinking about mounting it on there with a shroud.

          Well it certainly sounds like you're happy with the main goal and that is to have a quiet PS. I hope it doesn't have any problems providing you with clean power where you need it but it sounds like you're just fine.
