A year ago i purchased an Enermax350W
http://www.enermax.com.tw/eg365p-ve-fma.htm
Around September i decided to go for watercooling as my HHC-001 was driving me crazy.
Now that i have a Thermaltake Xaser3 case with front dual 120mm Panaflo L1A mounted on rad running with 4pin, 3 80mm Smart Case Fans by thermaltake running on my mboard headers.
Dvd-rom, cd-rw and 2 WD 120gig drives using coolermaster drive cooler with 1 fan. http://www.coolermaster.com.hk/product_ ... duct_id=30
Too finish off i have a UV cold-cathode.
Is there a chance im over stressing my PSU? Any way to determine how much my components are draining power?
Thanks for the gr8 forum

Very unlikely you are stressing the PSU, read the Sticky.

If we take ~70% efficiency from AC to DC, then 350W would be approximately 245w DC, which is a heck of a lot.
A very high spec PC will consume less than 150W DC..

Actually, the 350W rating IS the DC power output. If this PSU was supplying full DC power at 70% efficiency the AC draw would be more like 500W.If we take ~70% efficiency from AC to DC, then 350W would be approximately 245w DC, which is a heck of a lot.
EDIT -- corrected 50%; should be 70%!
