Well i just upgraded to a maze3-1 as you guys may know, and now i seem to be getting worse voltages than i did before i upgraded...

im at 4.92-5.00 now at 2.05vcore and 2ghz. now this is ok, but as soon as i run toast or another other load program, the voltage with drop to 4.5 :eek: and has gone to 4.4... the +12 also jumps up high to 13.2 from like 12.9..

ive adjusted the pots inside my pp412x antec psu. what do you guys think is going on?

Your 12V is getting dangerously high. I believe Gamer has killed 2 videocards due to a 5V mod.

But I dont get the connection between swapping Waterblocks and your voltages?? Did you OC higher now then before (Higher Vcore that is)

Check your ATX connector to the motherboard. It may not be fully seated.
