The stock PSU is only 120W (at least for the P-78xx laptops) and I am wondering if the people with T-series processors and heavily overclocked graphics cards are using it. If not, what PSUs did they buy? Do the P-68xx people also have the 120W PSU, despite their stock T-series processors?

My p-6860fx came with a 120w psu.

As far as I know, no one has been able to successfully overclock ANY processor on P7805u's.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.. -

BTW with hardware modification it can be done. -
AFAIK, no one has successfully over clocked a P78xx system.
I'd love to see this hardware mod you speak of. I've been dying to see that for months.. -

I woulda included "T-series processors" in the title but I figured it was long enough.
As for the hardware mod, it was a thread probably in this forum. Search for "soldering". I didn't read into it much because it wasn't anything I was going to do, but it sounded pretty legit.

Is the hissing noise with these PSUs normal?
-
yes the hissing thing is normal for the stock PSU. the PSU is not the best in the world.
i have a 6831FX, my laptop came with the 120w stock PSU. the cpu is the 1.66mhz one the t-5540 i think, but i upgrade the cpu to the t-8300 at 2.4 within 1 week of having it. i think with the t8300 the power draw is even less the the 1.66 one. the heat is alot lower so i would think the power is too. at 100% throttle the power draw might be around the same as the stock cpu.
i do overclock the gpu from 500 core to 600, and the memory from 800 to 900, the PSU seems fine but it does get very hot when i do fold@home with the gpu and Boinc with the cpu.
hope this explains some of your questions.
