Hi all, I currently have a Seasonic S12 600W PSU, and i've been having problems running Dawn of War Dark Crusade, now someone over at the relic forums told me that my voltages were erring on the low side and that I should consider getting a new PSU (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?p=2235258#post2235258)
So my question is this: are these voltages low?
If so what PSU would you guys reccommend? I would like a modular one this time around though!
Cheers, Joe.
 
Check the voltages again the BIOS might be more accurate

Wouldn't expect this kind of problem from Seasonic tbh
 
A multimeter is the most accurate way to tell but failing that use the bios voltages as Will_3rd suggests as they are probably more accurate.

I wouldn't say they are terribly low, they are still well within ATX specifications(PDF file), you have +-5% on the 5V rail e.g. down to 4.75v, not 4.80v. :)

The PSU could be the problem but I wouldn't take it as read that it is the problem just yet.
