Huge voltage prob!

[BeZ]

Alright so i got this new pc like the other day. 2800+, 512 ddr 400, a7n8x-x. I install asus pc probe and every now and then i see 13.2 V flashing as a warning. NOW i know this isnt good!! im kinda freaking out here.. My pc also froze up a while ago and is running at 41 c with two fans blowing in and one blowing out

Nah, 13.2v is fine. Don't worry if that's what it's peaking at. Most 12v equipment is made to handle up to car battery voltage, which is 13.8v peak.

Asus probe is a waste of hard drive space. If you want a way to keep an eye on temps and voltages, do a google for mbm5. It,s a nice little prog, and it's free.

What about when the system locks up tho?

How has your rails been? If they spike beyond 5% then that could cause a system crash.

does the voltage fluctuate or stay pretty much consistant?


If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor

Yes Crash is right and my 2800+ is running any where from 43 to 50 F when in a game but my voltage is staying simple I think you are seeing voltage spike when your fridge starts. Dont worry about it If you are realy concerned drop 80 bucks on a good power supply and call it a day.
