~~~Bad PSU or bad MBM5?~~~

[EXman]

got a new ship and was doing some monitoring and I noticed that the 5v reads 6.69v and the 12v reads 11.2-11.6v also sometimes the MBM5 totally bottoms out and reads Zero for both (not at the same time though.) I think there is a problem with MBM5 and my ALI magik chipset. Is there another program like MBM5 that is free? I also use the ALI monitoring prog but it sux. oh my Mainboard is a Iwill XP333-R and the PSU is an Antec 412X (yes with the adjustable POTS) btw...

Use a voltmeter, if you have one or can borrow one.

probably need to invest in one good to have around. think a cheap radio shack model will suffice? cannot afford a Fluke that is for sure.

the thing is it runs great I have run a very stable Overclocked system <crosses fingers>

Yeah, one of the lil' RS ones would be nice, I should get one myself Not world-class, but I'm not a world-class multimeter user either, LOL
