good power/psu qustion

[curt]

ok its simple

has any one played with psu volts higher then this [all 3 wer tests with mbm and a master craft mutly meter]

note this is a modded psu ment to push hi volts but i wana try higher

12v is at 12.80 averig i saw 12.89v playing doom3

5v is 5.35-5.45v averig

3v is 3.40 -3.45

far as im conserned the 12v is high enuf but i wana bump up the 5v an 3v

just wonderin how high ppl have goen with out burnin sumthin

heat is no ishew

why are you increasing the voltage? are you experiencing stability problems with a certain component? is the system unstable under load? are you overclocking and what are you overclocking (gfx/cpu)? i can say that playing with the rails could render any component in your system useless in the blink of an eye if you're not very careful. like the 12v controls the fans so running those high will put strain on fans etc, +-5% of the stated voltage is what's considered safe. anything beyond that can cause problems.

mbm usually quotes higher values for my 875 chipset's 12v rail so the most accurate way is to connect a multimeter directly to the motherboard's power connector and test load/idle volts from there. i myself am using an ocz powerstream 520 with adjustable rails that are running at about the same voltages as yours hooked up to my P43.2E@3.84GHz and my volt modded X800 Pro 560/560. i adjusted my rails slightly higher to counter the droop when the system goes under load, but that's it. i have no intention of overvolting as there comes a point where more volts just don't help...they stress components making them less reliable, increase their heat and in effect reduce their lifespan.

hey

i know thers a point where its to much but the more i push er the more she oc.s so im not done yeat

i dont rilly have a reson for doing this other then i can

if i burn the mobo then i know how high the volts can go lol

i work in a comp store so it not hard to get new parts

an i use a multy meter cus i dont trust mobo.s

at stock cpu i have a antec 500wat psu that cant handel this comp allvolts on that psu ar within range

but this comp is no prob for my
modded dell psu update [psu is made by hipro] 253wat

12v 12.80-12.90

5v 5.40-5.50

3.3v 3.40-3.55

[allso note im running 2 psu so the modded one is only throwing power to the mother board]
every thing els run off psu #2 hd.s/fans so ther all at normal voltige
