Question Is this a sign of a failing PSU? HWiNFO inside

[honkler_radar]

I'm not positive about the results, but from what I've seen this could indicate a failing PSU correct?

You may try: just boot into the BIOS, because I don't know which PC you had, but read the PC manual to see: either the PC health or hardware monitor section something like that, you should be able to read that voltages readings. If you get same or almost the same, very low numbers. And yes, your PSU had problem, it is time to buy the new one.

Keep in mind: these readings should be within +/- 5%.

What does your Bios give as voltages?

This is what my 10yo PSU has to offer.

I would think that is not reading correctly if your PC is working.

Edit check in BIOS or download OCCT.

You're right, it wasn't correct. I didn't know it'd be so far off like that. I'll guess I'll put my computer under load and check my temps next, thank you for the help.

With the volts it was showing your PC shouldn't even work.

Understood, I knew nothing about the PSU besides that that seemed to be way too far off from the optimal numbers lol. I didn't know the BIOS would spit out different ones. Stressing CPU through CPU-Z pretty quickly gets my temp to near 80, so I'm thinking it may just be on overheating problem.

It depends on which CPU you had. If you can post what you got, we may find the answer for, otherwise, we can just guess it just like you, sorry.

Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor, it hits low 80s pretty quickly when stressing.

The system shouldn't even work with that kind of low voltages. The readings of HWinfo are wrong.

What's the brand and model of the PSU?

You should check your BIOS as well, considering those readings are really bad, too... if it's the same, you should get a new PSU. Those values are not within the 5% tolerance window.

The PSU is fine, the motherboard sensor might read a bit differently because I'm using an extension cable, the additional length of the wires could alter the values a bit.
