look my abits temps and volts with a powermax 550w psu something is wrong here isn it?
my +12 is very very low, it is from +11.52min----> to +11.66 max
idle and the next think that i mention is that the Vio dances from 3.01---> to 3.68 rapidly and continious.
any sugestions ? is that the problem that i cant run 3d at high fsbs? above 220?is that the problem that i cant overclock the 9800 pro above 215 fsb?

Sorry, but I'm not getting anything when I try to open the download. But from what you've described, sounds like the psu is having some issues. That 12v shouldn't go that low, and that much of a swing in the 3.3 line would have me a little worried.

I get a blank page, the dancing of the 3.3V is really worrying. Check the cooling of your psu, remove the dust and make sure it's not running hot. Otherwise try with another psu

most power supplys spec +- %5 for the rails, so 11.5v is ok for your 12v rail, but your 3v rail is going WAY too low. unstable voltages never help your overclock, so i'd be looking into a new PSU if i were in your situation.

i just order a new one is antec true power 550w inc. 5.25 Control Panel. I think it is the best choice in Europe .
