hey guys, i have an addtronics 420W server PS and the 3.3V is really low, like 2.6
i have 3 HDD's, CDRW, DVD, like 10 case fans and a dual code cathode. it's rated at 245 in the small print, so i guess the 245 is constant and the 420 would be like a peak type thing? should i send addtronics an email seeing what they say ("should" be under waranty)
but it could also be i have too many things plugged in (i've been at work and school a lot and right now computer is taken apart for rewiring and UPGRADE!! DLT3C coming in tomorrow :)
so i can't plug her in to test) so i was gunna get opinions. Thanks
 
That 420 should be having no trouble with the system you got there in your sig - have you checked the voltages with a multimeter?
 
ep-8rdas cant read 3.3v (at least not that I know of.) MBM is showing you your ddr voltage.
 
ahhh that would make sense, i had a friend who's would did below 3 and wouldn't even get into windows i was laughing at him earlier cause mine's running fine :)
well my voltage thing my case came with plugs into a PCI slot and "claims" to get voltages and it's right on the other 3 voltages it give (prolyl 1-2% diff) and it doesn't dip below 3.18, that's like all time low, usually 3.22 or so. so 3.22 sounds more realistic huh?
YAY DLT3C COMING IN LIKE 13 HOURS
