I am running an Asus A7m266d with 2 tbred 1700+ chips oc'd to 2100 mhz. I cant get them much higher, and am not having any problems with temps (38-40c under load). I have noticed, that when I start a CPU intensive program IE prime95, I can actually hear a "tone" change in the fans, as if the power draw is making them sound different.
I am wondering if my power supply is not up to the task. It is a "generic" 435watt power supply. The specs on this board only call for a 400watt, but my 5 volt hovers around 4.87.
Is this a sign that even though it "meets" the specs it still doesnt have the oomph? I can get a "trupower" of a bit higher wattage if that may help the problem
THanks!
