ASUS P3B-F & 200WATT POWERSUPPLY?

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

If i'm running this motherboard with a P3-700 O'Ced to 933 at 1.65 voltage. With the following:

1. TWO CPU fans
2. 1 case fan
3. 1 IDE harddrive (6 gig)
4. 1 IDE ZIP drive
5. 1 IDE CD-ROM

WIll the power supply be took weak? will it give me any problems? What if I decided to add a IDE burner on there?

Thanks
David

Should be OK. Pentium III systems are not known for monstrous power draw.

Mine's run fine with 235W for years, if that helps.

Great!! Thanks.. Well I know 230 watts would be decent, but 200watts.. I thought was too weak.

Thanks

sorry for the last post!
I would try using the 200 watts PWS , if it turns out not very smooth I 'll get rid of the ZIP drive, again if it does't improve I will definitely replace the old 6 gig HDD with a decent one plater 20 gig 5400 rpm HDD which consume less power if there is one around.

Cool, Thanks for your input, I never knew that old hardrives used more power. That's good information!
