Hey everyone!

I just checked that my system' 12v current is running low on 8.25 !!!
I don't know for how long it has been this low.

CPUID Hardware monitor

Real 450W font.

ASUS P5KSE EPU
3 x 3.5" HDD
1 x DVD-RW (barely used)
1 x nvidia 9600 VGA

Can this low current damage my hardware?
What would be the problem? The mainboard or the font?

Thanks
 
Some hardware monitor software isn't accurate with certain boards. While running windows, use your reset button or "restart" and check the 12v reading in the bios hardware monitor section. I'll bet it's closer to 12v. I doubt your setup would run at 8.25v. Your reading should be between 11.7-12.5v with any decent power supply.

Hey there!

Thanks. I checked the BIOS and its ok on 12.2v.
Software monitor isn't reading the proper value.
That scared me boy!

Thank you!
