Ive noticed flashing textures in FEAR.While running Asusprobe 2 Im getting 3.3rail warnings..It drops down to 3.22 and never gets above 3.3 even at idle.Is this normal or is it time for an RMA..Otherwise the system is stable..Thanx
 
Is the video card oc'ed? Have you checked your voltages with a DMM?
 
Yes, only way to be sure what your PSU rails are putting out is with a multimeter (DMM).
Software readings are notoriously inaccurate.

Besides, 3.22v is well within the 5% max allowable variance put forth by the ATX standard.
(3.135v - 3.465v)
