Antec PS are JUNK!

[Crashman]

Howdy, just switched out my Antec PS for a generic Continental unit. All my voltage levels are closer to normal; +12v went from 11.49 to 11.88, +5 went from 4.66 to 5.05 volt, and my CPU core (set to 1.70) went from 1.74v to 1.72v. Because of the increased (More Accurate) 5v setting my CPU fan SPEED UP from 3800 to 4100 RPM. Now I can get my system to overclock even higher, my CPU temp is reduced, and my memory no longer overheats under full load when overclocked to 150 and set to it's fastest settings. Both of these units were 250 Watt.
What I'm saying is that a QUALITY power supply (accurate and stable, not just powerfull) might just be the most important part of an overclocked system! I see a lot of you are using Antecs from the various post-have you checked your voltages lately?

My friend has an Antec case with a 300W Antec PS. He has no problems yet. He just can't overclock his Duron 700 past 850 but I can't be sure that is due to the powersupply. A lot of people have also claimed they can't get past a certain speed.
But then again, 850 isn't all that bad.
