Voltage Problem?

[Lahire149]

Yo,
I'm using an X-Dreamer II case from Aspire and i heard that it comes with a 350W TurboLink PSU. I have my CPU voltage set to 1.55 but my Abit voltage reader is always jumping around from 1.54-1.52. Is this because my PSU can't keep the volts right or something? My DDR volts are stable at 2.66. My 12volts thing jumps around from 12.1-12.22. My 5 and 3 volts are pretty stable. My my Vcore really jumps around the most.

I think the voltages are allways changing by small ammounts. Don't think this is a problem

well is it possible that a new PSU could make the jumps in voltage minimal?

Wait wait.. 350W PSU? I wouldn't use anything less than 400W for a 9800Pro

i had a 250watt and it worked perfect

I'm sure it did. However if the Powersupply isn't powerful enough, the componants overheat...

Anyway, a new PSU would fix your problem

thnx for quick response...

and i'm dead serious bout the 250 PSU thing... it was a *moddified* Dell with a 250watt and it ran a 9700, then it ran my 9800pro witha 2.4intel, 2diskdrives, and 2 harddrives

Maybe you got lucky or it actually was a good quality psu. But even if it does provide enough power, that doesn't mean it is providing clean power. Lots of random brand psus dont bother that much with voltage regulation and stuff, or actually meeting their rated wattage.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Yeah, their quoted wattage is often the peak, not the average.
