High voltage use on PTW?

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

im guessing the two are conflicting with each other. I very much down PTW is
overloading your pc causing the voltages to go high.

Try MBM instead http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
MBM is normaly better than MSI/Asus/Abit software.....

well its probably because PTW is the only thing putting full load on your
cpu

if you load something like setiathome, it will put 100% cpu load and will
toast ya PSU propper
