Hello,

The only thing you changed was the PSU?
Try reversing the little plug from the case switch to the motherboard header (where you plug in the power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, etc.

Hello

I've bought OCZ ModStream 520W recently and I experience huge voltage drops at 12V. I have X2 4200 and 1 7800GT at A8N-Premium (stock), with 1 HDD, 2 fans. My Asus Probe shows ~11,77V on idle and it drops to ~11,55V when I stress my CPU (video encoding, video card idle...). Do I have bad ModStream :confused:

Thanks for help

Hello Pawel,

Asus probe and the like are never very accurate....you would need a multimeter to check the exact voltage and if any drop occured.

If you can get your hands on one...you can measure the voltages as shown here: http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7069

Thanks Ryder :)

I've checked my voltages with multimeter. Values are:
Idle: 12V- 12.03V, 5V - 5.13V
CPU load, GPU idle: 12V - 11.95V, 5V - 5.14V
3DMark: 12V - 11.88V, 5V - 5.15V...

Much better than 11.55V, but still 0.15V drop... Anyway - You know better if it's OK. Is that drop normal for ModStream 520V? I fought it should be enought for X2+GT (not SLI) or should I try something more powerfull? I apreciate your help :toast:

Thanks

Pawel

That is nothing to worry about.....+/- 5% (so 0.6 volts... 11.4-12.6) are acceptable voltages.

If you go SLI you might need more...but I think you are just fine :)
