let me start out by saying this PCP&C 750 was almost spot-on with my prev Abit IX38 QuadGT under same conditions.
now with the Formula Maximus, 12v rail is steady 11.82, 5v rail is 4.825 with a .5v ripple, and 3.3 is a steady 3.25. all recorded under full load via OCCT 2.0.0a and 2.0.0b.b1.
idle rails, as reported than the sometimes less than accurate Asus PC ProbeII, show as 11.87 12v, 4.87 5v, and 3.25 3v3.
even if these are considered within specification, they are rather low, especially when considering the 5v ripple, and that these were within +- .05 for 12v and +-.075 5v on the prev abit board.
OCCT shows relatively 0 vdroop under load.
is this a common occurrence w/ this asus board? is the board def? or is this well within normal specs for this supposedly excellent supply?
one reason i ask is b/c ive been having trouble getting this quad 100% stable at 3.6ghz even when it was 24hrs prime stable under the abit until the PWMs fried (twice). it failed Prime after 8.5 hrs at 1.41 vcore which was the same as the abit was stable. i did add another 2 sticks RAM when installing the asus, could the added load be stressing the supply or board too much?
thanks
