MSI Core Center and voltages

[tehDeviLwithiN]

Hi all,

I currently have an Athlon64 3200, MSI K8T Neo FSR mainboard, Kingston ValueRam 2x512 PC3200 memory, and an ATI Radeon 9700 PRO graphics card. I am also using the drivers and utilities CD that came with my mainboard with the latest updated drivers and 1.8 BIOS. The MSI Core Center application detects the following voltages:

1.47 (vcore)
3.23 (3.3v)
5.00 (+5v)
11.96 (+12v....jumps up and down between 11.96 and 12.02)

The Vcore is set default at 1.550, memory voltage at 2.60, and AGP voltage at 1.50. Does everything look OK?? Should I upgrade my 3 year old 300 watt power supply to a larger one???

Thanks

make sure core center isnt doing that auto overclock garbage that it will do and see if that fixes it. 300w PS is maybe a little dated as well though. i dont know anything about power supplies and voltages. i just know that mine was doing what you were saying when the core center was set to auto overclock, (i didnt set it this way) good luck

All at default settings, the Autoclock feature has remained untouched since I installed the mainboard and software...However though the Vcore is displayed in RED and next to it says 1.47v. I might go with an Enermax 460w as the general consensus recommends a minimum of at least 22A for the +12v rails especially for Athlon64.

oh, i understand. yeah if no one else posts a suggestion i would go with a new psu. i have a 400 watt, works fine. i dont OC though

OC or not...i want to have a stable and reliable power supply and just in case i might want to add more stuff in the future.

Thanks again!
