I am wondering if this sounds like a ps issue or just a msi board issue....


1) others have reported same lowered vcore readings...


My vcore is 1.44v when it should be 1.5v....lately it has been fluctuating 1.39-1.44

All my other voltages look good but the +12v = 11.43...in my athlon setup it use to get 11.83...

I know the p4 has a 12v connector for power to cpu so either that is it drawing from it or showing a weakness in the ps....I haven't notice any drop in it when I increase the fsb or vcore voltage....

There is potential the voltages are in eror as well as the temps since msi has an updated bios for corrected temp readings...


Overall I get restart issues as soon as I go over 120 no matter the memory ratio or settings and as soon as I adjust the vcore....


What do you think? What are p4 users running for mass ocing??? I may go buy one tonight at fryes....

Sparkle 350 watt PS...runs my athlon 1.4 like a champ....BUt I don't think the ps had to deliver on the +12v rail though....
