Hi guys, sorry for this question, it may look stupid, but we never know.
I´ve got a (not too old) P4 2.8 Northwood HT, and a MSI 648F mobo, running 1 gig pc3200 and a gecube radeon 9600 pro AIW. I Do a lot of editing in Magix and Sony Vegas and run Photoshop also, and a few days ago I notice a voltage problem (or not) in the cpu core voltage. It keeps jumping from 1.44 to 1.49 from time to time. I was readind another post refering to voltage flutuating...is this what's happening?
Is this normal or is it a psu problem?

I have a Eurotech 400W Silent psu (not sure if it's a known brand)

Thanks in advance
Sorry if my english isn´t the best

I don't think I would do too much worrying over anything the cheapo onboard voltage meter reads. If you are very worried about it you could use a good meter to read the RMS value followed by an oscilloscope check of the ripple to make sure its OK too. I am betting though all you would prove is that the onboard meter is crappy and will lead you to worry about nothing real.

Thanks for your reply, maybe that's the problem. I bought that mobo for 50 € or so. I think I should fix it all with a hammer :)
