Hi all,

What's a PSU that will keep my 8K7A+'s 5v line within acceptable variance?

My Enermax EG365P-VE PSU is not doing the trick - without overclocking, I'm idling at 4.63v.

Anyone out there still use the 8K7A+?

Thanks in advance for any helpful reply.

that mobo and enermax's have been known to have issues. I bought an Antec 412x (the 404 is ok too) it has adjustable pots to boost your 5v line (yes I used to use the EPoX as well). Also the Antecs use thicker guage wire than the overrated enermax's. I'd look in the FS/FT forum for a 412x 404 (or 403 i do not remember) or a newer true power series. I have seen at least two over there in the past day. good luck

I ran two of those boards, used enermax and antec 300's and 350's with low voltage but not below 4.85 overclocked. Ran a 1.4, then a 1600 & 1800.

Go for a newer enermax or antec.

I had the board - same as the others, stayed around 4.85'ish (actually went over 4.90 when I got my 500W supply). I second their recommendations.
