Everything has been running pretty smooth on my system. However always when I go over 2700MHz, the system just reboots suddenly after 4 hours of TOAST.EXE'ing (its P95 stable for 2 days straight hmm). HDDs stop spinning, goes back to POST screen and windows starts up again and everythings running fine.
I checked the +12 rails, and whenever toast is running, it goes down to 11.49v. Ouch. Idle is about 11.63v.

My old power supply is a 300w antec truepower. I just purchased a FSP550-60PLG2 which has +12V@36A :cool: This should solve my random reboot problem right? Or is there something else that I should check?

Thanks guys.

EDIT- I have 6 HDD's.. thouse might be eating some of that 12v?

It might, if that is the actual problem. Could be your CPU is just topped out.

Yeah, but wouldn't a topped out CPU show signs of instability? Mine shows NONE at all. Runs RROOCCKK STABLE.

The way I see it, if it works with the most demanding things I use it for, then it's good for me. :D I doubt I will ever be beating my computer past what toast does.

the fact it reboots after 4 hours is a sign of instability :(

but the instability could very well just be because of your power supply, like you said. only one way to find out.
