is it time for new psu?

ColtIce · Dec 6, 2002

my +5v reads 4.68 to 4.78@ idle. is it time for a new psu? its only 250 watts so im thinking it is. also could this be reason for random lockups? ive dropped down to stock speed and removed unneeded pci devices

someone?anyone?pleez help.ive done search(no help)stupid 4 letter min!

I'd say so. Anything below 4.7 V on the 5 volt rail is not good.
I'd recommend getting a Chieftec DX-01 series case. They are only 69 dollars with a Turbolink 420 watt power supply. PS is made by Channel Well Technologies which is a well known PS maker (they are the same company that supplies Antec).

thanx Serraph i assumed this prob just needed some backup and the case snds like a good deal .where at?

I got the dx-01sld at newegg.com however it's sold out currently.
Here's a link to some with the 420 W turbo link PS.

Or if you just want a high quality PSU and no case, I'd suggest getting the 400 watt Sparkle power supply.
