corsair tx 750 psu voltage issue

[gamercraze]

hey guys i have a corsair tx 750w psu
lately my system has given me this error after it randomly resarted stating anti surge system was triggered due to unstable power supply unit.
what i have noticed that the psu vrail readings are low on hwinfo64 and normal in bios

previously i had a asus rampage 4 extreme mobo which got dead randomly reason was power IC dead and it showed all readings normal on hwinf064 and now i have the asus h61m-e and it is giving me these readings.

hwinf064 reading
3.3v=2.028
5v=3.407
12v=8.976

mobo reading
all normal

this has happend to me 2 times now and recent one happend today while i was playing gta online
both the mobo and hwinf064 are giving different readings of psu vrails.

my specs
intel corei7 2600k
asus h61m-e
8gb corsair 1600mhz ram
1.2tb hdd
corsair h100 cooler
asus strix gtx 970

kindly help me guys with this issue i shall be thankful.

These readings aren't acurrate from HWINFO , your computer wouldn't run if they were.

You need multimeter for that, hwinfo is reading incorrectly, buy an cheap one and stick probes.
Same for my vs550, 13V on hwinfo, but mobo sensor 12.1V, with multimeter (fluke) 11.90V-12.04ish.

If you are not familiar with multimeter ill post how to test it out.

i have a 750 tx-m and hwinfo read voltages in the right values see if you use another psu that you have similar readings .

So what do u guys think it is
Is it the antisurge system not functioning properly so should i turn it off? As Sr 71 blackbird said that my PC wouldn't be even running if it was these readings
And yes tell me about the multimeter.
But from the info i have given what do u guys think that is it my psu?

 

[gamercraze]

Problem is i don't have another psu for testing.

I know that older mobos can go weird sometimes.
Soo basicly an cheapest multimeter would suit your need,
Typically it has COM port to plug black probe(common ground) which goes in black molex wire of psu.
And plug the red probe into multimeter at voltage "V" or read manual (sorry varies per models).
Set multimeter to DC usually straight line ---- also above 20V.

Now as measuring you keep the black probe into black wire of psu.
With red you put to check 12V,5V, 3.3V
12V is yellow and tolerance is 5% for all voltages to fluctuate
5V is red wire
3.3 is orange , but they are mostly used for sata hdd,ssd.

If you need more info Ill post you with pictures.

This is in case if you dont wanna swap pc parts around for no reason.

Usually dont worry if you short the psu it has overcurrent protection on rails as it should.
To be a little more confident, I have ms 400 atx psu for over 5 years as lab bench psu, shorted it soo many times on all rails, and still voltage is withn spec, also driving an 50W amp.

mobo reading
all normal


I would trust the motherboard instead of hardware monitor.
If your talking about Asus serge detected it's known to give false positives. On a PC thst old I would cut that off. If your power supply gets to far out of specks it will still cut off.

Use multimeter.
No software (besides Corsair link and alike) can measure voltages from the power supply.
They’re using an IC somewhere on the motherboard, so there will be resesistance from the PSU output. Also you don’t know how accurate/inaccurate the IC is at measuring voltages (eg only to one decimal).

Your power supply could be perfectly fine. Your power supply could also be faulty. Use a multimeter to test values at different loads, try a different PSU, try a different power outlet without surge protection.
Your voltages should be within 5% of their nominal values (12V, 5V, 3.3V) at all times.

Software is unreliable at best , BIOS is usually pretty close. Just for reference below:
