I have some 300W no-name PSU with 2 power sockets, one for PSU/computer itself and the second one I use for powering the monitor. In such a case, does monitor drain watts from the PSU?
I'm asking because currently I have AthlonXP 2000+ and voltages already barely fit within norms (12.8V@12V line, 4.7V@5V line, and 3.1V@3.3V line, on heavy load they get even worse, like 13.1V, 4.5V, and 3V). System is rock-stable yet, but soon I'm going to get AthlonXP 2500+ and overclock it to 3200+, so I'm worried that it won't work in such a circumstances... I had an idea of disconnecting the monitor from PSU and connecting it to the wall-socket instead, but I guess that it won't decrease the PSU load, right?
