HORRIBLE Raidmax PSU Needs Serious help....Pics Inside-Help....
I got this quite sometime ago, but rarely use it, now it's my only back up PSU for a few days and I need to mod it, my new A64 PC is barely overclockable cause the rails and everything are just sooo screwed up...
this PSU is completly unmodded, but I am going to buy somestuff to mod it tonight.
take a look at the 3.3 and 12 volt lines, that pic here is under load with super PI, it gets even worse with almost anything 3d...

heres the PSU under no load.
I will take pics of it later...
gotta go eat.

I found ASUS Probe FUBARing readings a lot, maybe install MBM or something to be really sure?

I daresay your Vdimm is being read as 3.3v? Methinks the motherboard's (or PSU's) under-volt protection would kick in with such a horrible undervolt. Not to mention your 3.3v-dependent voltages would be incapable of going over 2.8v (namely, vdimm).
it's already been measured with my FLuke True RMS 77 Multimeter. the readings are right
XDuck, I don't know what you just said...
I wish I had a Vdimm to 3.3 volts but this board only goes to 2.8 volts max and Asus boards don't report the Vdimm voltages anyways

Basically, I think your motherboard is reporting Vdimm as 3.3v... So 2.8v is not your 3.3v line, it's your Vdimm line. IIRC, a line of Epox boards had the exact same problem. Now that you say 2.8v is the max vdimm (and I assume you have it set to thatOriginally posted by Kunaak

Asus Boards don't display the Vdimm voltage, just Vcore.
plus the voltage doesn't change from setting different Vdimm voltages, like 2.6 or 2.7...
plus the PSU was tested with no motherboard and it was the same barely above 2.9 at best...

Alright, fair enough. Looks like your PSU really is a POS.Originally posted by Kunaak

I'm disappointed Kunaak, i came into this thread thinking i'd see a pic of a smashed up psu... You know...Some deranged individual with teeth gritted standing over a sheetmetal carcus.
Hehe, guess it 'twernt as ad as i thought

If Kunaak can't get it modded to some respectable rails, you might have your sheetmetal carcus fetish come true!Originally posted by Poki

I can't mod it, I don't see any 3.3 volt sensor line, just the plain old 3.3 volt line, no thin line
but then again, I am not sure I even understand how to mod a PSU...

I have 4 different readings now...
BIOS, SPeedfan,Asus Probe and my Multimeter...
each reports the 12 volt line different.
MM, nope I have a Antec True control 550 here in this PC now, I had to gut my prometeia for it, so my poor P4 is just sitting there at 4 ghz running seti all day with the crappy PSU.
