Ok, I think this could potentially be a huge problem, but please let me know.

I have a 1000W Corsair PSU for starters. I have 2 280GTXs hooked up to it, along with the MB, 5 fans, and the other usual stuff. I have it balanced with about the same amount of 6-pin and 8-pin connections...

ANYWAY, I was looking in the BIOS at my power settings and it showed this:


+3.3V: 3.21
+3.3V Dual: 3.21
+12V: 12.01


I am worried that the PSU will overload when I load up games if those are the actual voltages. It looks like it is on the edge already. \What can I do to confirm this, and is there any way to fix this if it is a problem?

Measure with a DMM. Software readings are crap.

Sorry...where can I get one and how do I use it? Never done it before...

It's a sticky.
But frankly I'll never worry about HX1000, it's a damn good PSU.

wow. I feel like a jerk. Thanks so much. Sorry for my ignorance.

Those voltages look perfect to me. If you're paranoid you can double check with a multimeter. Honestly though you could get a third GTX 280 and still be fine with the Corsair 1000.
