voltagse too high?

Well, i don't know where else to put this but here...

I'm checking my Motherboard monitor right now, and it says that my Core1 and my +3.3 volts readings are at 3.42V and 3.41V respectively. Aren't these a little high? That's a bit more than a 3% increase.

I'm running a 300watt Antec power supply that came with my KS-282. And i'm experiencing some random reboots, and i hear memory or PS is usually the ones at fault in an Athlon system. Could the high 3.3 voltages be killing my RAM? SDRAM is only made to run at 3.3v right?

Motherboard i'm using is an Asus K7M-RM... same as K7M just microATX.

Thanks for any help guys
 
That's common actually. My P5A had 3.3V settings for 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, and 4.0 (the latter two aren't recommended). For some reason 3.4 is the norm.
 
ok thanks, that's a bit reassuring, i thought my computer was gonna burn up again. Already has before :frown:
