As you can read by my sig, I'm using an Enermax EG465P-VE (FC) 431watt power supply. Right now under load (folding) my voltage rails are reading:

Vcore = bouncing between 1.74V and 1.76V
+3.3V = 3.44V
+5V = bouncing between 4.81V and 4.84V
+12V = 11.92V

Just curious if these voltages are OK. The system isn't overclocked at all right now due to high ambient temps (the cpu is at 50C load :().
 
They look OK....The +5 is a tiny low, but not bad....are you having any problems with it crashing?
 
I had my +5v rail running at +4.6 for a while. The system was dead stable, if I could get it to boot. (The Enermax PSU was causing boot-time problems.. non-initialization of video, video problems, not posting, etc. I replaced it with another one, and it's working fine, my +5 is at +5.10 now (but I got more watts now).

Actually, no, the system is perfectly stable and rock solid. I was just wondering if the voltages are within tolerance, and since it's completely stable, I guess they are. :rolleyes:

Ouch. I bet my system would be that unstable too if my +5V were at 4.6V. Anyway, my next system will have an antec true control 550watt psu in it. I don't plan on using any of the original hardware from this system when I build a new one. I'll probably end up giving it to my brother or cleaning it up and selling it.
