Hi All

i have my 3.3 V rail reading as 2.968V. can this effect the read write operations of a NVME SSD when it comes to gaming? i also create content where the video is about 40GB for a 1 hour long video for YT. i use Davinci resolve and when this operation happens I don't get any issues. i only get this when playing a game that needs lot of reading from the nvme like wukong, indiana jones or SOTTR. i get the BSOD with that windows hardware uncorrectable error message. when check the logs its pointing to a PCI root hub 3. sometime the game crash and the ssd is visible in the explorer but as cannot open any folders as it says path is not valid. shutting down and booting up fix that problem until it happens again.

the 12v goes as 11.952v and 5v goes as 4.95v
the details are below

OS -win 10 latest
motherboard :- gigabyte B660M
cpu :- i5 12400
ram :- DDR 4 16gb*2
os is on one nvme (256gb) and gaming is done on another nvme (1tb)
psu:- corsair RM750x

i do have a HDD and its full of movies and i can watch then without an issue as well. my gut feeling is its time to replace the PSU . should i replace it?

You have to question how that voltage is being read. What is the accuracy of the sensor. If you said 2.9xxx with a recently calibrated 4 digit accuracy digital volt meter, then I would have more faith in that value.
