So good ol Lara C caused my system to crash last night when exiting the game and upon restart the bios kindly let me know that my OC had been reset.

So like the intergalactic ninja I am, I had pictures of my OC settings for such an occasion. So today I put all the settings back in and ran 20 laps/runs of IBT on maximum.

It passed (HUZZAH!) I am about to run some game benchmarks just to make sure everything is ok when I seen on the last run (19/20) that my +12v rail was at 15.193V under 100% load.

Now below I have took a screen grab and realised I should have done it whilst it was testing, the +12V occasionally spikes at +16.1V ish. I have tested the PSU in the past and all seems ok.

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this or is my trusty Antec Trupower 650 about to kick the bucket?

Do you have or can you borrow a digital multimeter.
It may just be a faulty sensor or the programme you are using reading it wrong.
Measuring it with with the DMM will accurately tell you whether or not your psu is correctly outputting 12v.

Cheers for the reply, yeah I have tested it in the past with a DMM (forgot to add that). So it is most probably a software reading fault?

Sounds that way.
Just to be on the safe side it might be worth leaving a DMM connected to compare with the software reading.
