Hi

Since getting a GTX 280, been mulling over wether to upgrade my PSU or not (currently an Enermax Liberty 500W). Not been getting any crashes or anything, but wondering if the current PSU is already at its limit on the 12v rails, and might be holding me back from some better 280 overclocks. Anyway this lead me to have look at the 12v rail usage, with speedfan and sandra reading 11.46v, but pc probe reading 12.16 (both dropping by about .10v under a 650 core / 1150mem atitool load - no artifacts) . So which one should i trust, and is it looking a bit straining on the PSU?.
