hi all, have an asus commando MB, and for a while now i hear the fans in my system slow down when my comp is under load ? so today i decided to install asus probe 2 and the readings are 10.8V idel and 10.2V under load ?
the psu is a 500W 21amp and is now around 7 years old
im pritty sure its going to be the psu on its way out, but i thought id just check, as im not sure how accurate the asus prob is ?

Not very accurate but still I have no doubt that your 7yo PSU is getting very tired. If it is bad enough to slow your fans down already, I would change it before it dies and takes other parts with it.

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce today would cost $100, get a million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Borrow a multmeter and check the yellow wires. They should be 12.0 volts plus/minus 5% or 11.94 to 12.06 volts. I might go 10% if everything seems to be working, but no more.
