| 774478 | 2009-05-16 23:07:00 | Running a SOYO Ultra Platinum, Dragon mobo and an Athlon XP, I have the SOYO HW Monitor running at startup and while performing the two day long backup to get files off a slowly dying hdd, I noticed that the voltages and numbers are bouncing around a lot. Here's some of them - I wonder if I can get some input here: CPU 101ºF/38.33ºC - CPU Fan = 2245 RPM CHA 115ºF/46.11ºC - CHA Fan = 4963 RPM Vcore = 1.74V VCC1.8V = 3.31V 3.3V = 2.87V +12V = 10.3V +5V = 5.1V 5VSB = (floating a lot) 2.09V to 5.01V Is it normal for a Coolermax PSU to float voltages like that? Is the red report telling me that I am losing a PSU? I have the GUI to soft-set the voltages, but if they float much, I might toast the CPU or accidentally wind up in overclock hell. |

| 774482 | 2009-05-17 10:22:00 | Are the voltages the same in the BIOS and in all the programs you tested with? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 774483 | 2009-05-17 20:43:00 | Are the voltages the same in the BIOS and in all the programs you tested with? I never looked - as I assumed that the software in the HW monitor would let me set the BIOS voltages at the same time . Do you think that the BIOS voltages are incorrectly set? Hmmm! The HW monitor is by the manufacturer of the mobo and I just assumed . . . . . . . Well - we all know what "assumed" means . :illogical . |

| 774486 | 2009-05-18 01:18:00 | Is the BIOS up to date?? Info in the BIOS CAN be wrong The last time I played with the BIOS was because of the Chernobyl - W95 . CIH . damaged worm and it was a payload that I didn't want to mess with . My son and I sweated it out on April 13th a few years ago . Another thing, the latest BIOS is a few years old by now and it hasn't changed since the last time (I looked) . Do you think I might need to do it again? That's kinda scary . Are you suggesting that the BIOS should be checked against the voltages that are suggested in the SOYO-HW monitor? |

| 774487 | 2009-05-18 01:56:00 | Sounds like the PSU is stuffed, and probably why the HDD is dying. Get a new one ASAP before everything else does. Like Pctek says, Raidmax are junk. Especially with a 5vSB line dropping to 2volts like that :yuck: Then again it could be the motherboard and its voltage sensors... check with a multimeter the voltages, if they are the same as what the motherboard sensors are telling you then the PSU is definitely the problem |
