Epox 8kha+ and 3.3v line readings

[JayH]

Howdy folks, I just setup an Epox 8kha+ with a 350w Enermax EG365P-VE PSU
and running Win2000 (for now) and Sisoft Sandra and MBprobe. I'm getting low readings for the +3.3v line both in Sanra and in MBprobe. It's registering the following data:

+3.3v 1.52v **
+5v 4.94v
+12v 12.03v
-5v -3.94v **
-12v -11.96v


Now these are from memory since I'm not at home but the only ones I'm really concerned with are the +3.3v and I guess to a lower extent the -5v. At least MBprobe is flagging both of them. Is this a sensor problem, a config problem, known issue with the Epox or the Enermax, or is something wrong? I've read about some fix for the +5v line, like some people modifying a resistor that controls the +5v line with a potentiometer and stuff but my +5v looks fine. I'm not overclocking and have just setup everything and starting to tweak.

Thanks,
Jay

the - ones dont really mean much (-5, -12) so i would worry about that at all

the 3.3volt.... on that im not sure your board is reading it correctly, cause i have doubts about your ram being able to run with that low of voltage.... does the board post and run stable?

if the pc runs ok then my guess is the 3.3v is just not being read right.

Yes, so far, the PC ran right from the initial setup and has been running OK for the past 3 4 days. Played a few games and was doing some general tweaking here and there, not much a problem. I forgot to check the BIOS readings but I'll do so tonight. It reads the same way in Sandra too.

If it's not being read right, I would think that alot of people would be having this question/problem, yet I haven't heard of it in my searches.. Dunno, I guess I'll wait and see my system is stable or not. I haven't tried to OC the system and not really intending too (perhaps very conservatively but I'm more interested in stability).

Maybe I'll email EPoX and see what they have to say...
