Problem but don't know what????????

It seems to be ok again, Voltage regulation is a lot more stable than it has been for about 6 Months, coming to think of it it wasn't until after i installed the FX-8350 that i got big Vdroop, i upgraded it from an X6 1090T.

Might it be that the BIOS did not fully recognise the new CPU, after 10 hours of the CMOS pin being in the clear position its perhaps properly cleared CMOS and fully recognised the FX CPU now?

Don't know, but in GPU-Z the 12v now only goes from 11.75 to 11.63 and sticks there, before it was from 11.75 and fluctuating between 11.50 and 11.25.

3.3v now doesn't move no matter what, where it did before.

12v in HWMonitor used to go from 12.04v to 11.798 on stressing the CPU, it now only goes to 11.95.

Anyway, thats useful info PG/Boom, if its an intermittent fault and comes back i have my eye on a Supper Flow 650 Watt PSU. :)
 
Glad you got it sorted
What i can suggest why your 12v is higher is when you unplugged you motherboard and plugged it back in you cleaned up the terminals slightly for a bettter power flow, My tx 850 12v line was low for a year and when i changed cases it also shot back to where it should be then month later was low, i took the plugs out cleaned all the terminals and poof sorted 6months later still fine
 
H'mm, you could test the PSU with a multimeter, have you got one?

The one in this video you can get from Maplins for around £8, I've got the exact same one, runs off a 9v battery.

Yeah, you might be onto something, i have had it for 3 years, the terminals maybe could do with a clean

Can you use them to measure voltage under load?

Reason I said is because from reading various forums, they say software doesn't give an accurate reading compared to a digital multimeter.

I've seen some videos testing the 24 pin while connected to the motherboard, but I don't think I would fancy that, it's best looking into it more.

Maybe ask on jonnyguru forums, their is like about 6 PSU reviewers for various websites who spend half the night on there answering all sorts of geeky stuff. They will let you know 100%.
