Which rail from the PSU supplies the vcore on 8rda+? I searched around and couldn't find definitive answer. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places...
TIA

Any recs on a good replacement PSU?
drshivas said:Thanks for the input. Your statements match my observations. My 5v rails is around 4.85-4.892 @ 1.8vcore. The 12V rail is 12.2 and stays strong. I guess it is the 5V rail then.
Google fetched me this page which also corroborates the 5v rail...

What I am getting at is I think my Enermax 350w PSU is sucking. I can't get over the speed (see sig) at any combination of multi/FSB/vcore. I think it is because of the low performance of the 5v rail. Oh well.
EDIT: When I say I can't get over the speed in my sig, I mean p95-stable kind of speed.

Fortron 350W with 120mm fan. $36 at newegg. Fantastic deal. 220W on the 3.3V+5V compared to 185W for an emermax 350W. Not to mention that Fortron PSUs are underrated while alot of other brands exaggerate their ratings.
Well they may indeed increase the 12v line to compensate for the load. But my problem is not at 1.85v but when I go further. The 5v line, even under load is at 4.7 or so with 1.85v on the Vcore. But put that up to 1.95v and the 5v drops to 4.6 or even below under load. And the Vcore itself fluctuates by as much as .25v. Granted, this is my observations through MBM, not through an actual voltage meter. But I think this is enough to question the power supplies worthiness.Deathknight said:Do your rails change though? Just because the fans spin up doesn't mean your PSU is not cutting the mustard. 1.85 vcore is not THAT much for a quality brand PSU. I believe that the antec PSUs are designed to work like this, increasing fan speed when the PSU is under load.

check with a multimeter on the mofsets... mbm tells me that my 5v is at 4.65, when it really is at 4.93
