I built my system yesterday and it was crashing randomly. However, so far the problem was faulty ram and since I removed it, the system is running stable.

Just wondering but I was running SpeedFan and was observing my temperatures. I noticed towards the bottom that the numbers seem pretty low (+12V, 3.3V, etc) . Is this ok or do I have a potential problem on my hands?

My build:

Case: Antec P180B
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35 DS3R
Processor: Intel e6750 Duo Core
Video Card: Sapphire x1950xt 256MB
Ram: Crucial Ballistix PC6400 (2GB) - However only running 1GB right now Sad
HD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB
DVD Burner: Samsung 18X DVD±R DVD Burner
Power Supply: Corsair 520W HX

Fan 2 speed 675000 RPM
+12V: 0.32V

I think you have a configuration/compatibility issue.

What exactly do you mean?

The reading you have are complete garbage, there is no-way a fan can be doing 675000 RPM! or the +12V at 0.32V.

SpeedFan either isn't working, or isn't configured correctly for your motherboard.

I just read in another post someone saying their Speedfan voltages were wacked out. I don't trust the voltages on anything except what the BIOS says. As far as I know the BIOS is where the values come from, so any program you would use is simply interpreting the values from the BIOS. Besides that the universal programs can't ever be 100% universal. In this case a look at multiple crazy numbers tells me there's NO way its right. I don't know if you can even boot your computer if those numbers were for real. I know a 675000 RPM fan would have ripped itself to shreds at less than 10% of that. Fans aren't exactly designed to strict engineering specs to have a perfect center of gravity to facilitate anywhere near that speed. We won't talk about the fact that depending on the diameter of your fan, 675k RPM might mean the outer part of the fan blades exceeds the speed of sound.

I can see it now. You turn on your computer and your windows shatter and the walls shake violently.

So I shouldn't worry about this then?
