System Specs

3.3v and 5v way out

Are there ways to get these voltages to within acceptable range?

My readings:

2.832v
4.408v

with what did u read that out? bios, software or with a multimeter?
software is allways wrong and bios sometimes give wrong value's just check with a multimeter, than u are 100% sure what ur voltages are

i'm going to guess you read those via software.

the software was also guessing.

Here were my values for an older system:



You have to check with a multimeter, or better yet an oscilloscope, for actual values.

with regard to a multimeter they are fine...what about the voltages fluctuating if you bend the atx cables? I rely on them being positioned in such a way to try to maintain good readings. If not my system wont boot and is unstable. P.S. This is in overclocked state.

If your readings differs when you bend the cable then it is most likely because of bad contact at the connector (24 pin).
