RE: Do You Think My PSU...
so dropping to 11.5 is normal on a 12v rail? i mean i been havin a lot of stability issues lately after around an hour of gaming my pc just locks up and refuses to do anything i tried dropping overclocks, renewing TIM and reseating hsf but i getting the same thing i even turned up my fans and made them whine in an annoying tone lol and nothing seems to work and i dont think its my motherboard because its not that old. can you think of anything that could be causing the problems. btw i had this issue before i upgraded to vista so i know its not that .

RE: Do You Think My PSU...
11,4 Is pretty low.
11.57 low-ish, but it's within normal flux.
If you're hitting 11.4, you should invest in a new PSU.
Oh, and as for lockups, it's probably not due to the PSU, but instead to all the s*** you're running in the background.

RE: Do You Think My PSU...
Would be good if you could use a volt meter to check, because my mobo reported 11.86V, but a volt meter registered around 12.01. Though if it is getting below 11.5, then it's low. My Toughpower seems pretty good, though i am having some issues (but I had them before when I had a rosewill RP500, so it could be that i damaged my CPU by overclocking...)

RE: Do You Think My PSU...
Most PCs register around 11.75v on the 12V lines.
Maybe your sensor is shite.
Try a volt meter.
