OCCT 4.4.1 - How accurate?

mushtafa · 25 May 2015 at 14:53

I've been having a few problems with the PC at the moment, so thought I'd check the PSU. The voltages are miles out - esspeacilly the 12V rail. (Will get the multimeter out tomorrow to confirm).

Is this normal? Does the voltage drop if the current pull is low?

I can run GPU & CPU stress tests at the same time without issue, but every now and again I'll get a BSOD while playing GTA5. BSOD 124. All overclocks have been removed.

Im not sure about the accuracy of OCCT for voltages related to the PSU

However I have checked some of this stuff with Hwinfo64,and the readings it gave for my PSU rails where within the stated spec range of my PSU

Didn't think of using HWinfo, I'll check it now.

HWinfo shows much better readings. Cheers MrMD

No probs
Although the rail voltages dont necessary prove your PSU is not at fault.But 124 BSODS are almost always vcore related.Might be worth setting your cpu to stock and adding a notch of extra vcore to it and trying that,or could be a mobo on the way out.

CPU running at stock, auto voltages in BIOS.
