Gigabyte

Hi i have a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939 MB and i was having problems with my 5V rail which was fluxuating alot. I mean it drops to like 1V or 2V and then jumps up again to almost 6V.
So naturally i went out and bought my self a new PSU thinking that my 5V rail was overloaded or something. As i was upgrading anyway i went all the way and got myself a Ultra X-Connect 500W. Guess what, according to my software the 5V rail is doing exactly the same.

Could it be that the problems is with the MB or the device that measures the voltages on the MB. How do I measure the rail voltages directly on the PSU. (Just stick a multimeter in the molex?)

Please help me, I haven't been having PC crashes since i upgraded the PSU but fluxuating voltages can damage other components in the PC and i don't want that.

Yes, just stick a multimeter in the molex. An analog voltage meter would be better because it's easier to see the needle move than to catch a quickly changing number.
