PS Question

[Corey0808]

How do you tell if your PS is hindering your overclocking? I just upgraded and kept my old power supply because I couldn't afford a new one and I think it might be the problem with me trying to get to 3200+ speeds

I don't know how accurate this is anymore, but it's a place to start.

All you need to do is see what your +12v, +5v, and +3.3v rails are running while you have the processor under load. And if you have a new video card, I would recommend trying it while gaming, too, because the new cards can use 75watts or more, while they are being stressed.

How much should they vary?
