wow quick reply thanks...

spotted my mistake thanks...

full story, bought the bundle a few weeks ago put it tougether and could only get a stable system on auto settings..
RMA the whole and it turned out i had bent a pin on the motherboard (lesson to be learned there)

anyway got it all back checked out the board and could only find one bent pin, so I decided to bend it back into place and it seems now to be working ok..:)

put all the supplied settings in and it all works great apart from having a higher:
CPU Core Voltage 1.4950v


anyway in answer to your question.. i Think:confused:
+12v V1 19A
+12V V2 19A

just wanted to make sure I was not doing anything stupid (AGAIN) :confused:
 
Thats OK - some people have had trouble overclocking if their PSU only has 1 4-pin connector for the motherboard.

Chip voltages vary. So are you running stable now or are you still having problems?

Just keep microfibre cloths away from sockets. a lot of people try using them to clean AS off the surrounding area - disaster lol.
 
I did have an old psu in there with one 4-pin but bought this one after advice it has one 8 pin and one 4pin I am using the 8 pin. I take it that means i am using both rails :confused:

It seems to be stable as I said 7hrs on ORTHOS. No problem.

So is that voltage ok..

AS???
