Hello all!

System 1 in my signature has low 3.3 voltage 1.17v
I've stressed the hell out of my system ( occt power supply test )
but it stayed @ 1.17v the whole time.

After 2 hours there were no problems at all.
System runs completly stable.

Bios says 3.3v = 3.9v ( which makes me wonder if it might be a powersaving feature )

OCCT says 3.3v = 1.17v load( when I just bought 1090t and stressed it it said 3.3v )
0.00v powersaving

All powersaving features ( that I know of ) are off.

I know it has something to do with regulating pci-e and ram voltage so I figured
my system would chrash when stressed but it didn't.

There's no real problem here except me not knowing why the voltage is so low.
Help would be realy appreciated!

edit: I have just replaced my PSU. After I RMA'd a 900w coolermaster PSU ( which blew a socket after 2 weeks )
they replaced it with a 1000w PSU about 4-5 weeks ago.

id say its just OCCT being wrong and reading the wrong voltage sensor.. could be a mix of the bios having the sensor under the wrong name and OCCT reading that wrong name.. another program to check is speedfan.. at the bottom of the window it will show all the voltages.. see if it matches OCCT's numbers but if the systems stable i honestly wouldnt worry about it all that much..
 
I downloaded speedfan version 4.41 but it also reads 1.17v

Just last week it was 3.3v.
I've never seen it this low before.
Going to try changing some bios settings.

I'll update when done.

Edit: I restored bios 2 default and turned all powersaving features off but
it didn't help anything.

I just want 2 make sure I've got nothing 2 worry about.
I know for a fact that it was set to 3.3v just last week.
I check my voltage and temps regularly becouse I want everything to run smooth and without problems.

Faulty volts or temps give a early warning that's something is wrong.
Therefor I'm a bit worried even though my system checks out perfectly.

does yuor system smoke ? does it blow up ? Does it not run? ---- if answer is no/no/no, then dont worry, if there is an issue it wouldnt actually work mate ;) , also maybe try a different/more uptodate bios
 
Software/bios voltage readings are useless. Unless you've measured them with an actual volt meter than you've measured nothing and have no reason to worry.
 
Get a voltmeter, if the voltages were that off your mobo would smoke or not turn on. Mobo readings aren't that accurate, they can be at times but sometimes they are way off.
 
.fixed it . it was problably a loose connector becouse after reconnecting everything it was fine again.
Thanx for the reply's.
