ok guys so basicly been having some problems with my machine recently

my 940 use to run sort of stable @ 3.8 but since i got the m3a79t deluxe board and my extra rad & 8 fans, it wont even go past 3.4 without having problems when it gets stressed, my 12+ volt reads @ 12+ when idle, but when i start to stress it(100%), it drops to -10v. PSU????????

havent realy has this issue since i upgraded my cooling and mobo and to top this off!!!!

i found out ocUK had sent me the wrong PSU, paid for the Enermax 1000 DXX & i realy have the 850 DXX:mad: should of checked realy

You could have had a defective PSU, but 850W is more than enough for your system.

One thing though... you said you have 8 fans. Make sure they're all connected directly to the PSU and not the motherboard to see if that makes a difference.

Could just be the way the board is setup you need to tweak a few things. And I would see about getting the correct PSU from ocuk

Get your new PSU and then check......certainly sounds like your PSU cannot handle the load your rig is pulling.


Hope it helps. :)

Nop , but its well known that the best PSUs for OC ,
are the ones that overvolt a bit, like the HIPER ;)

no its not, the best ones are the ones with the most stable voltages and least ripple. and hiper have a terrible reputation.

10 seconds in google. i bet clicking those links would find me a lot of proof.
I've seen lots of people with PSU issues have hipers here on the forums, i beleive we have an (outdated, by now) thread dedicated to it.

It has been seen before where Vista will limit an OC that XP will allow with 24/7 prime stability. Some choose not to believe the hype, but I personally worked with a system of another member who had the same exact findings. Not saying its the OS entirely, but some parts will not run as well when Vista is installed.

I call BS on that.....esp. after having run both an E7200 and a Q6600 up to 4GHz and that's with 8GB (4x2) of RAM installed.

And before you get your panties in a wad, I understand you had problems getting your OC to 4GHz, but it surely wasn't a function of the OS, as many OC'ers have been able to use Vista and achieve 4GHz and higher with it.

And who knows.....your power supply may be getting stretched out a bit.....4870's in Crossfire and overclocked, Phenom OC'd, water cooling, etc., I wouldn't be surprised that you'd be pulling upwards of 700W at full tilt.

As far as Hiper and it being great because it "overvolt a bit," sorry, but just the fact that HIPER cannot stabilize the rails on their power supplies is a sure indication of shoddy construction. If anything, a good power supply won't let the rails, no matter which one you're talking about, deviate from what it's supposed to be.....+12V, +3.3V, or +5V....at all, even under heavy stress. Overvolting of the rail by the power supply without user intervention is horrible......complete lack of proper voltage regulation. There are standards to be adhered to and to think working outside those standards is good is just silly, if not dangerous for your sensitive motherboard/cpu/gpu/memory circuitry.

As far as Hiper and it being great because it "overvolt a bit," sorry, but just the fact that HIPER cannot stabilize the rails on their power supplies is a sure indication of shoddy construction. If anything, a good power supply won't let the rails, no matter which one you're talking about, deviate from what it's supposed to be.....+12V, +3.3V, or +5V....at all, even under heavy stress. Overvolting of the rail by the power supply without user intervention is horrible......complete lack of proper voltage regulation. There are standards to be adhered to and to think working outside those standards is good is just silly, if not dangerous for your sensitive motherboard/cpu/gpu/memory circuitry.

:laugh:

So this PSUs looks to be tools , of terrorist organization too .... :roll: :roll: :roll:
That makes me terrorist too ...

My motherboards never was flaky , plus they are top dog overclockers ... still if you see on the market any adjustable with pots PSU , or an OCZ memory booster , stay away ...
