Voltage Warnings

[wildman_33]

I seem to be getting lots of voltage warnings at the minute from the Asus AI Suite software installed on my system. I was ignoring them first as the values being reported were not appearing in HWInfo although yesterday I got a warning telling me my VCore was at 2.040v and this was also picked up in HWInfo. I have tried stressing the system with various benchmarks but it doesn't seem to have any issues, the voltage warning only seem to come up when I am doing things such as browsing.

My specs are as follows:
Asus Z77 Sabertooth
Core i7 3770k
16gb Samsung Green DDR3
2 x GTX660 SLI
XFX XXX Edition 650w PSU (about 4 years old now)
Vertex 3 120gb (Boot)
Vertex 2 480gb
WD Blue 1Tb

At the minute I am thinking it is likely the PSU giving signs of giving up, I don't really want to buy anther unless I am sure it will fix the issues, I may try another I have lying around although Ill have to remove the GPUs as I only have a couple of 350w PSUs. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

i haven't come across any voltage messages before.

as you suggested though if you have a spare PSU then give that a try also if the system is overclocked remove this as well to see if it helps

AI Suite is garbage. Software is awful for voltage reporting and the only proper way to test is with a multimeter. The psu wouldn't overvolt the cpu though, that would be the motherboard, especially if left on auto voltage. What does cpu-z report the vcore as?

I'll have to have a check what CPUZ says when I get home, the 2.040v must have only been very briefly as it was showing in the max column and not the current column. I only had AI suite installed so that the USB charging features would work as they didn't seem to without it annoyingly. I think ill remove it though as now I think about it, it could be the reason I can't get my aquaero software sensor tool to work (also a terrible piece of software).
