My overclock died on me

[LoCache]

I overclocked my computer awhile ago. Things, recently, seemed to fall apart after I installed a antec tru power supply. I can't get to where I used to be.

At first guess is it the cpu, or memory?

id say it was the PSU

You might have got a bad PSU.

Another thing to check is your case temps. The true power ps run their fans at a low speed (very quiet) so if your ps was/is the main way hot air exits your case, your temps might be going up quite a bit. Or if you plugged all your case fans into the ps controlled cord, that could have the same effect. Higher case temps lead to higher cpu/memory temps!

If your temps haven't changed, I'd try to exchange the ps and see if a new one works better

According to Asus Probe, my voltage are running fairly stabe. For the 3V channel, it steady at ~3.296 and the 1.5V channel is steady ~1.552.

Is this not a good mark? It's wierd because my previous PSU was crappy and only 300 watts. This antec is at 430 watts.

Thanks for the info though.

Any change in temps?
