Could this be my OC'ing problems.

I notice under my power monitoring readouts in bios that my gpu has a low
power rail. Here is what it reads.

12v rail @ 12.208v (don't the newer one run at 12.3 now?)
5v rail @ 4.99v
3.5v rail @ 3.29v

That five volt looks low. I was warned about a multi 12v rail psu. Its a
Zalman 1000HP and it running my current sig. Thanks. -keith
 
dont know.. atleast on my corsair 550HX psu my voltages read:

+5v 5v (goes back and forth between 5v and 4.97v but usually says at 5v)
+12v 11.97 (constant)
5vsb 4.76
+3.3v 3.3v (constant)

(this is using Hardware Monitor and my cpu is at full load right now, so not sure if that makes a difference)
not sure if that helps.. but figured it might give you a better idea on the voltages..
 
Software voltage monitoring is not accurate by any means. You need to use a multimeter to properly measure your voltages. In any case, those readouts are perfectly within spec. The 12V rail can be between 11.4V and 12.6V, the 5V rail can be between 4.75V and 5.25V, and the 3.3V rail can be between 3.465V and 3.135V without causing any harm to your components.

I agree. test with a multimeter. At this time, your readings from the BIOS are within 5% of what your PSU is rated for.

good luck, let us know when you peg it out
