Weird Prob

[abu_has_the_power]

i think i got it to work. i had the power input for the 9800 joined to my 2nd hdd. when i play games, it draws power, and i think the 9800 and my hdd were drawing too much power at the same time. now i have the hdd paralleled with my hdd fan and my temp display thing, and i have a direct molex line from the power supply into the 9800 pro. seems to work now in splinter cell. i'll keep u guys posted.

Is that your great 500 watt PSU?

I was being sarcastic when I said that.

rite now, just after i played splinter cell, i&#39;m doing:
12v: 12.46
3.3v: 3.22
5v: 4.92v
Vcc: 5.04v

those are good or bad or ok?

they&#39;re just OK. but that is what to expect from a cheap power supply. expensive ones have bigger capacitors and better cooling so the voltages dont change too much.

here are mine taken from speedfan:

+3.3 = 3.0
+5 = 5.02 (my most acurate one )
+12 = 11.96
-12 = -12.1
-5 = -4.96
vcore = 1.75 i hate that vcore coltage, its what makes my cpu temp so high

edit: why is ur vcore at 5v? is that what intels run at?

no, my vcore is 1.6. i&#39;m not sure what vcc is
