high temps caused by voltage problems

[jack bauer]

I have a a8n32, opty 170, and x1800xt512 w/ accelerox2, and have some heat problems. Someone suggested a possible voltage problem. They seem normal to me. How could I check them under load (ie during a game)? PCProbeII is only accessible at desktop.

no one knows? does someone know the normal nonOC Vcore? Mine is 1.41 but used to always be 1.38

Hi There!

To get them at the desktop you could use ATi Tool, and specifiy an OC with a long heat-up stage, and use Prime95 to stress your CPU at the same time, whilst using your volt monitor on the desktop.

What are the indicators of a volatge problem? I have a seasonic s12 500W, volt specs on idle:

Vcore 1.41 (used to be 1.38, not sure why the jump)
+12 11.97
+3.3 3.25
+5 4.97
