Is this a crap PSU?

The Learling · Mar 7, 2010

Okay I have this LC Power Monolith 1200W PSU which I think is very unstable.
I'm using OCCT and Everest to monitor the voltages

I have set the Vcore to 1.45V which is 1.40V idle and 1.35v load. My 3.3V rail seems to be 0,23v

and the Dimm voltage is 0.02V off.

I'll show some pics of OCCT under load.

The Cpu's overclocked to 4GHz BTW.

Measure with a DMM. Until now only software readings are crap.

.02 difference on anything in a PSU isnt bad at all really. Though I agree with Burebista in that you should test with a Digital MultiMeter as software is sometimes inaccurate.

And you are using a 1.2kw PSU for a single card (not 4)???? Maybe sell that thing and get something a little more appropriate for that build and possibly a better brand (Corsair 750TX comes to mind which will easily do fine with 2 GPUs).

The Monolith is a CWT based unit... it's at least as good quality as anything from Corsair.

Use a DMM to check voltages - software and bios can only be counted on one thing... being wrong.
