Just had a strange BSOD; for no apparent reason... I haven't checked the txt file dump yet but upon rebooting, i immediately started OCCT, CPUz, & Hardware Monitor... I noticed a strange reading on my vcore and other voltage readings...

Screen Shot

I have another PSU i can trouble shoot the problem with... what connector do i use if i can just use the spare outside the case; the 24 pin or ??? ...

Don't trust software readings, use a voltmeter. If the voltmeter readings fluctuate similarly, your PSU may be failing.

That would be a shame because i had this Enermax Infiniti 650w sitting for about a year and finally used it when i swapped out platforms so the return policy is a little past due... I am beginning to think these Enermax Infiniti models all have a defect cause my 720 also fluctuates, but not as severe

EDIT: so if i were to test it with my 500w Liberty what connectors would be the ones to hook up first?

EDIT 2: I now just got done doing a OCCT 5hr & 49 min test @ 3.825 1.136v in CPUz & 1.14v in HWmonitor.... LLC on auto and it didn't jump in the entire 5-6hrs...


i hate these kind of problems.....rrrr

It is derived from the 4-pin "ATX12V" or 8-pin "EPS" connector, whichever your motherboard and power supply have. The motherboard regulates the 12 V input down to whatever the CPU needs.
