Hi,
Run R23 and leave hwinfo up front.

just downloading it now, i'll try it, and post a pic

How do i check the voltage under load?

Apply a load to the CPU & GPU, like Prime95 + Furmark or other CPU + GPU benchmarking tool while HWInfo is running.

Hi,
Yeah quick test
Make sure minimum shows 12v no below if it does reset measurements with the lower clock icon

But as I said before it's likely a non activity hibernation/ sleep thing not vdroop under stress.

i just ran it for 2+ mins, didn't reset with clock thing, lowest was 11.968v but i'll reset and run it again.
Heres after 5 mins of cine, started at 10mins i think, temps not bad either.

You need to load both the CPU and the GPU at the same time, which is why I suggested Prime95 and Furmark. Run them both for a few minutes and then check your voltages.

Prime95 and Furmark

At the same time?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I'd stick with realistic loads
P95 is a power virus

 

[freeagent]

11.7-11.5 load-level vdroop is perfectly normal.

Your right it’s still in spec, to me it’s uncomfortably low. I had many problems with just .2v less than that.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Well here is prime 95 all 12 threads+furmark at the same time. still acceptable imo, i have never had any crashes at all with this PC, and temps are still pretty good with both loaded.

Hi,
Which psu is this ?

And there it is, 11.7 is a perfectly normal load-level vdroop. You're good man. No worries.

That's fine.. its the 11.4 that I said was a problem. But its not my rig, so my opinion means nothing

At 11.2 it should trip, but I have seen lower than that just before the bluescreen hit. Other tell tale signs include a 5v at around 4.6v, and a 3.3v at around 3.15 should trip too, I had a TX850 that I abused religiously in my F@H days.

You mean 11.6 I don't think it has ever shown 11.4

Lol sorry my mind is going in a few different directions today

 

[lexluthermiester]

True. At that low voltage the PSU should trip it's built-in cut-off.

Out of interest, here is the PSU I am using, it's not a piece of crap is it?

 

[Audioave10]

I know they used to be good quality if and when they started the 7 - year warranty.

Hi,
TPU has a review of it I saw it yesterday
It showed similar voltage drops

Corsair TX750M 750 W Review

The new Corsair TX M lineup is an evolutionary step forward from the Corsair TX V2 Series. It introduces modular connectors and a new fan grill design. Internally, the platform provider has been changed from Seasonic to Channel Well Technology. Overall the TX750M is a rock solid performer that...

I can only say the same as before with more detail is my evga 1200p2/ 1000p2/ 850p2/ 750p2 do not drop below 12v on that rail.

 

[freeagent]

When I had my TX850 I thought it was cool at first when the rails sagged under load. I was like yeah look at that muscle! But over time the sags got worse and then I realized that wasn’t muscle

Just don’t hammer it and abuse it and it should last a bit.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

3.3v at around 3.15

LOL I had similar, at least according to software, where it showed 3.18 V or around there, when the 20-pin ATX connector was loose, because it somehow didn't go in all the way, back in August, 2004, IIRC, after changing the processor from the 02xx T-bred 2000+ AIUCB to an 04xx (0415, IIRC) T-bred 2400+ KIXJB on my Asus A7V8X-X. To my amazement, still no crash when running 3D Mark 2001 SE, IIRC!

Personally I wouldn't use it but doesn't mean it's 'bad'. I'd try to stick with something a little more up the top end with the hardware you have, for me its just personal preference.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Not even close. Solid PSU. Worry not about your PSU.

It showed similar voltage drops

Voltage drops happen. It is a fact of life. The term is called "Vdroop". A certain level of it is not only normal but expected. Too much and there is a possible problem. This is the nature of PSUs. Always has been. For example my 12v rails drop to 11.81v under full load. And I have an EVGA PSU.

So can we all dispense with the vdroop fear-mongering please?
