So, could my system not be receiving enough power

[soulslicer]

I guess I should have definitely gotten a bigger power supply.

At 550 Watts real power, I have running
: Quad Core Q9550
: 10 over fans
: 9800GTX+DKnight

After using for about 2 hours, I always get these insane lag spikes, where its fine for a while (30fps) and then it sharply drops to 2 fps and then back again. I check the temperature and its around 60 degrees. Occasionally, my fan lights dim and come back again, especially when playing games. Could this be a sign that my PSU is not enough?

 

[Qonfused]

Yeah, but wtf @ 10 fans. Why?

 

[giant384]

what psu is it exactly?

550 watts isnt enough information

 

[soulslicer]

It's a cooler Master 550W Real Power Pro.

10 fans, as in 10 in total, 3 for chassis, 1 for CPU, 1 for GPU that kind..

550 watts for a quad core processor and a 9800gtx along with hard drives, optical drives, fans and usb devices is going to be really pushing the PSU no matter which brand or model you get. CoolerMaster makes good ones for the most part, but yeah, I'd suggest going to a decent 750Watt PSU.
