ok there is something i dont understand i have build a dual psu setup for my amd rig one 300w smart power(mobo+cpu) and one 350w generic(4x80mm fan+2x40mm fan+2xhdd+1xcrystal orb+1xcdrw+1xcd+1xfloppy+70watt pelt) the pro blem is the next one how come my +5v is so low it can barely stay at 4.8 idle and will drop at 4.73-4.71load my vcore is at 1.80
isnt a 300w psu not enough to power a mobo+cpu
the reading where taken from mbm5.3 the mobo is the one in my sig and its a rev 1.04
 
300 watt should be plenty for the mobo + cpu, hell even a 200watt would be good enough
 
Measure the voltages with a multimeter to see what they actually are. Software reporting is notoriously inaccurate, so using a multimeter is the only way to be sure.
 
i have check a couple of 5v line on the atx connector and they all say 4.99 but thso that mean that this is what i get after the connector also if i check with one of those hdd/cd molex i get 5.03
