+5 CPU voltage is 2.98v on XP1800...Do I need another powersupply?

[nexialist]

Just made my new computer: KT3 ultra, AMD xp1800, 512 DDR 2700.

I put it all in a Raidmax aluminum case. It has an Extreme 320V power supply model PM S-320U. The MSI monitor PC alert III stays on because my +5 v is 2.96v and my -12v is -0.45v.

I did not find this power supply on the AMD approved list.....shoulda checked that first.

if it was that low, it wouldnt run. check the voltages from inside the BIOS

download and install motherboard moniter and see what it reads your +5v rail as cause it could just be an issue with the msi moniter.

and if its really at 2.96v get a new PS im actually supprised if you computer will boot with it bein that low

Yep it's the MSI monitor...checks out OK via BIOS.
