seems good to me but maybe you could recomend a better one for a better price.

my computer is an older one. could you help me


just kidding. it is older but it is a 3.0 ghz Northwood with a 5200 2 cd/dvd drives 1 HDD and a sound card. also looking into getting a centurion 5 case to improve cooling in the pc. o yes the symptons are instability and greatly flutuating voltages.

readings are from speedfan. PS is a allied so probably junk

2.5V rail: 1.49V
Vcore is 1.47V
3.3 is steady at 3.33 for what i have seen
5 V: 5.23V
12V: 12.06V

Thanks!
