Well, I have a 300 watt PSU with the specs from my signature. I notice that when I run Prime95, my +5v drops from 4.93 to 4.81, my +12v rises to 11.89 and my Vcore rises to 1.87. No change in my +3.3v which stays at constant 3.37v. My temps also rise from 33C to 45C pretty fast. I don't really notice any stability issues... I can only think of my computer crashing or freezing once or twice in the last couple of months. Do you think there is any negative impact on my system, processor speeds, or stability that I may have overlooked? I do notice my system fans speeding up when I run Prime95... but that was explained in a previous post.

Those voltage variances are not that large, and quick temperature increase when running prime 95 is normal. I'd say your PSU is doin fine and everything is ok :)

It sounds fine to me.
