I was having some problems with Vcore flucuations before and so i went out and bought the biggest best psu out there the Vantec 520 Stealth. Well that fixed my Vcore flucuations...kinda, and on my old psu my 5v was 4.92 and this one reads 4.7, i thought that was a little low but i also figured the psu needed to burn in, so i let it and now here we are 2 weeks later with this problem...
Today i stated re-overclocking my machine, bumping everythign back up, and now my 5v has returned to a nice 4.95 but it falls all the way to 4.7 ever few seconds or so then climbs back up...is this just some more of the burn in thing or what, i also thought it was weird that the line decided to jump from its 4.7 to 4.95 all in one day (today the day i stated upping voltages and overclocking)
My question is is this bad, should i be worried, maybe RMA the PSU, there are no other problems such as reboots being casued by it (as far as i can tell) any advise would be nice, system specs are in sig.
Edit 2: O yeah and it also did smell pretty strongly of burning, like that smell of hot electronics in my room for the first week or so that i had it, is that normal?
Edit 1: I am using a software program called 'asus probe' to check voltages
Thanks,

By the way, I am celebrating my first job, i am now working at Baskin Robins, so go buy some ice cream!!
