Is that right? I hooked up this PSU, been playing EQ2 for a while, but just installed WoW and getting weird lockups, they suggested it could be the RAM, NIC, or possibly a head issue. So I find a copy of Speed fan to read the temp/stats off my ECS nForce4-A754, and my +12v rail is reporting only 5.89volts?! is this right? My BIOS reports 11.95, but wondering if under load the system is doing something bad (powered down the system when I saw this).
WoW will freeze after playing for a couple minutes, then the audio will recover in the background, I can actually still play, but the video remains frozen, any WoW experts here? Runs great on my Piece of S&@* system
Also on the PSU., the PCIe connectors had a the wrong pegs on the connector when I got it. the top middle molex pin on the connector is square instead of having the beveled edges that the card has. I checked the wires, and they are the correct voltages or grounds as specified so I trimmed the connector, popped it on, no problem. Play EQ2 on the system, oblivion, etc. no problems. It's just this reading I'm concerned about. Maybe the number is cut in half or something?
Suggestions? Hardware follows...
