This Thermaltake came in my used Lanfire case and I don't know if it was already like that or what. Anyway since I noticed it I haven't been using it more than testing systems with. I just built a XP 2000+ with a Nforce 2 IGP mobo,160gb,2 optical drives 1 case fan and 512mb PC3200. No high end 3D cards will be used. I tested with my multimeter and it shows 3.39 which should be good.

I am guessing it go poor connection with a motherboard and got hot maybe? Or maybe the guy I got it off of tried to push his memory voltage high? Isn't this line mainly used for memory?

Just wanting to know if this power supply would still be safe to use on a low/mid end system. Whats the worse it could do if I use it?
 
Probably just a poor connection or bad ground. Clean the contacts and you'll be fine.

how would I go about cleaning it? Can't really get anything down in there.
 
Just a pick. Just to clean some of the carbon off of there. If you have electrical contact cleaner, spray it on it.
