Hi all

I've had a BeQuiet L8 730W 80+ Bronze PSU for 4 years now and in general the machine has been very stable - however, since getting a 780GTX 3GB 18 months ago the only way some games will run without crashing is to underclock the graphics card. I had heard a wobbly PSU can cause this card to fall over so having a look via speccy at my voltages I see the following:

AVCC 3.280 V
3VCC 3.280 V
CPU CORE 1.192 V
VCCIN 1.904 V
DRAM 1.648 V
+12V 11.176 V
+5V 5.120 V

Without stating the obvious, the +12V looks very out of tolerance to me - what do you think? New PSU time or ... something else?

The motherboard is an MSI Gaming 5 (Z97) and the i5 4670K is easy-overclocked to 4GHz.
