i've just been overclocking my 2000+
running it @ 12.5 x 144 1800mhz with vcore of 1.825

and as i was benchmarking it i noticed asus probe was having a cry about my 12+ rail being in the 13's

idles @ 12.992
under load was up around 13.134
my 5+ rail is @ 4.865
and 3.3+ is @ 3.184

the psu is an Olympics 320w dual fan
its max rating is 180w for 3.3v & 5v

now it crashed @ 1.800 but i changed the voltage higher

but i'm not sure whether it was my psu crashing or not enough volts

help??
 
That is always a possibility. I would get a Sparkle in the realm of 350 (assuming that that is big enough, I am not sure of the total size of the one you have now) and try it out to see if it does better. If not, there are always the classifieds here, ebay, or keep it as a backup! They are lifesavers sometimes!
 
Well to be honest, i would really worry too much if it is .5 - .75v above the rail defaults. The one thing I would check is to see if you are getting some nasty little surges, try putting it behind a surge protector to see if that helps ?

One other thing I would think about doing is disconnecting anything that could be drawing and more power than needed, such as intake/out-take fans for the time being.
