Quick amd oc question

[dazza b]

cheers boss.

i just noticed something, the 3.3v value on my via hwmonitor is running at 0.30v ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this may be the source of all my problems ????

what is the voltage used for and what is the value meant to be

[Wiggo]

Yes that's well out of the +\-5% tolerance and it's used for the CPU and memory mainly. :eek:

[dazza b]

so a new power pack should sort that out ?????

could this be affecting my cd cdr at all

[Wiggo]

Yes it's very possible as if one voltage rail is saggin' then it will effect the other two as well if not in proper voltage then certainly the wattage that those rails are carryin' and those other two are used by the drives. :smokin:

ahhh coz its 2:45 pm here. i am working "really hard" atm.

over 10k posts ........ must like moddin ya comp

[Wiggo]

I don't do a lot of moddin' but I do assemble PC's often enough to know that to have someone satisfied and happy with their new PC then I make sure that only quality parts are used that are well up to the task of deliverin' more than is required and that way if something else is added to that system later it can cope with that. :smokin:

oh .... i have been messin with me comp 4 bout 2 yrs so i know my way around but just dont know some of the more techy stuff..... i really want to learn more about electrics etc ... do u know of any sites which teach this kinda thing

[Wiggo]

This site, http://www.pcguide.com/topic.html , is gettin' a little dated in some parts but the fellow does try and update as much as he can when possible but if ya can get thru that ya'll have a pretty fair understandin' of most of what goes on. Also I use this page, http://users.erols.com/chare/hardware.htm , a lot for quickley findin' most of what I'm lookin' for at times (as well as seein' what's goin' on). ;)
