hey guys... i have a 300W Allied Power Supply running my rig.... (AMD ATHlong xp 1700+ tbred-b.... 512mb of ram....cdrom floppy, hard drive, 3 fans, video card... the normal stuff) i also have my cpu overclocked to 1800 mhz.... today i open up asus probe on my a7n8x dluxe.... and i look at my psu voltages and here is what they read

+12V rail at 12.608
+5V rail at 5.08
+3.3V rail at 3.344
and Vcore at 1.68

I'm really worried at the 12v rail... should it be that high??? Do i need to get a new power supply? Keep in mind that i want to overclock my computer some more like to 2 ghz...and in the summertime... i also want to add an ati radeon 9500pro....

so to sum it all up... are my current power supply voltages fine?
if so, then when i add the new vid card and the overclock do you think my psu can handle it?
