You can perform some mild overclocking with the 650w psu.
I believe the 3870 has consume a lot of you psu resources.
You need a good CPU cooler to take up the additional heat.
dun think 3870 can suck up so much juice from a 650w bro, it should handle d gfx & oc well enuf.

Currently most of geforce8200 chipset base mobo running very high temp in stock speed.
if can to oc ,no know what the temp will like ?? maybe can frying the chipset
it's not d 1st time nvidia produce hto chipset, even back in s939 days, their nf4 series are known to be hot chicks (chips)...
but to be fair on 'em, their chipset oc quite well, for eg d gud old nf4.

I used before CM extreme power duo and it can hardly oc my proc with 8800gts 640mb.
Hmm, I do believe the min psu requirement for 3870 is 500w real power.
bro, u need to know that g80 are known to be power hunger, 3800 series runs alot cooler if compared to g80.
