Power Supply Low Voltages Reported

[Andydeeau]

Hi,

I have been having some issues while gaming (CS:GO) in the form of stuttering, despite maintaining reasonable fps otherwise.

Specs are:
i5 3570k
gigabyte z77-HD3
8gb team 18667 mhz ram
Asus HD6850
CoolerMaster G700W PSU 80+ Bronze Certified
INTEL 530 120gb ssd
WD Caviar green 500 gb (just for video - windows & games on the ssd drive)

I have been having a look in HW monitor and noticed that reported voltages are much less than their listed amounts and wondering if this may mean PSU is faulty.

All parts are new aside from the HD6850 and the 500gb drive.

the cpu does not seem to overclock very well - currently at stock. unstable and failed to boot during a couple of overclock attempts - perhaps related to the PSU i am now thinking.

Please see screenshot from HW monitor below. Would love some advice and help with this. Thank you in advance

By the way - stressing with intelburn test did not bring any of the values close to their listed amounts.

Thanks again.

Hi - Ordinarily, micro-stuttering wouldn't appear to be a PSU issue, but if those voltage readings are anywhere near close to being accurate, especially those +12v readings, I'm surprised your PC runs at all with those +12v readings.

HW monitor isn't always the best measure tho, try to download another monitor program and get some confirmation of those readings. You can google or go to cnet.com & look for one.

Maybe try Hwinfo32/64 a try.
