No stable overclock, but only in games.

In speedfan it says my +12v is 9.72v - My system is stable in everything, prime, orthos and memtest. Yet when I play BF2, it freezes after a while and the sound loops, or it'll just reboot.

I've got a X1900XTX and a couple fo SATA drives, Audigy, DVD-RW. Its an Antec SU-380 PSU.

Can I trust those speedfan readings? What other free program can I use to test it?

Or shall I just fork out more money on a new PSU??

edit: Hm I just put a voltage monitor on my plug. When Im playing BF2, it says its taking 325W, this sounds a bit too close to the 380W my PSU is rated for yes?

When using just TAT or prime to test stablity, its fine because the wattage only goes upto 220W on my plug monitor thing.

Hmm well it say the max output on my PSU is 338W, and seeing as I'm using 325W when playing battlefield, i think that's probably the reason.

When i run my cpu at stock, the max power never goes over about 260W and it doesnt crash.
