I recently got an 8RDA+ (Rev 2) and am currently a bit surprised by something:
I am overclocked a decent bit and my 5v rail is down around 4.81 volts yet the system is completely stable!!!
I am not surprised that the voltage has dropped considerably as I am using a cheapo psu for the moment, but the fact that the system is completely stable with a 5v rail reading 4.81 does surprise me a lot: every other AMD mobo I have used started having stability problems around 4.84 volts, yet this one has been running without issues for over 48 hours at 4.81.
Has anyone else run one of these with a low 5v rail?
I am just curious to know if this is me getting lucky or common with these boards.
