anyone have problems with voltage rails on the rda+ 1.1?

[sixshot666]

im asking this question because i just got an antec truepower430
psu to switch out my generic 500watt psu.the +3.3v rail is at 2.7
with either psu whether im o/c'ing or not.both psus +5v rail
are at 4.8-4.9.the +12v rail on both psus are at 11.75-11.85.
only thing i did to the mobo was put some ramsinks(silversinkman)on the mosfets and replaced the nb heatsink with an iceburg chipset cooler.

The 8RDA+ 1.1 is a voltage hog big time...those are about average rail volltages...even with the ramsinks added...all the ramsinks will do is keep them slightly cooler...

When you do some serious OCing you will see the 5 drop around 4.65 - 4.75 and the 12 drop around 11.55 - 11.65

thanks for the info.if i known that in may i would have gotten
an abit or asus board.now i gotta go listen to the 5th card.

The voltage reported as 3.3v is actually the Vdimm which at 2.7 is what you have it set to. This is a common misconception.

how do we get a 3.3 rail reading then? w/out using a volt meter, that is...

AFAIk, you can't. Seems Epox thought that monitoring a voltage that doesn't change is more important than monitoring one that does
