Power Supply Voltage problem!?!?

Hi,
I've noticed ever since upgrading to a P4 I've had stability problems,
especially with neverwinter crashing to desktop during the game... I decided
to check the power supply voltage output and this is what I found:

Core 0 1.89V
Core 1 1.49V
+3.3 2.59V
+5.00 4.97V
+12.00 11.98V
-12.00 -12.68V
-5.00 -5.09V

Now to me the +3.3V seems VERY wrong! .. I've never dealt much with power
supply voltages so does anyone know if there is something wrong here and
whether it is motherboard related or powersupply related!?

Those voltages were read from Motherboard Monitor 5

Skyhawk 400W Power Supply
Epox 4PCA3 Motherboard
P4 3Ghz


Thanks for any info!!!

Read what the +3.3v output is at with a DVM *at* the PSU/MB connector.

 

I've tried using a voltmeter at the main ATX power connector on the mobo and
those voltages read correctly! (3.3v reads as 3.3v) ... any ideas now!? ..
could this be a motherboard problem? .. or is it the monitoring program's
problem!?

I'm so confused,

Sean

 

on epox

+3.3 = VDimm voltage. For example:

On Epox 8rda+ whit enermax 460w:

+3.3= 2.7
+5= 5.02

 

I would strongly recommend getting a name brand power supply that will be of
higher quality and have better regulated voltage outputs. Antec is an
excellent brand for PSU's.

 

well, i think is a software problem. try something else: aida32, sandra or
familiar

 

Thanks very much!!

 

Try configuring the monitoring program for different hardware or
install a different program. But gross discrepancies are common with
this kind of software, and if the 3.3V really was 21% low I doubt that
the computer would even boot.

Just to throw you a curve, my 3.3 reads at 1.52

Agreed. best bang for the buck, too. PCP&C and Enermax are terrific, too,
but you'll pay more. The Antec PSes are every bit as good, IMHO.
