Hi guys,
I'm currently on a P4 3.4ghz Pressie (LGA775) running it at stock
with Corsair (512x2) DDRII PC5400 Ram (yes its 667mhz)
Mobo is Giga-Byte GA-8I915P Duo-A
and my PSU is Fortron BlueStorm 500w

the thing is.. even when I OC it to 3.7ghz (crashes after 2hrs of prime95) the readings are exactly the same (as the stock) except the vcore and the 2.5+ with less than .1v+ increase.. If you're wondering what things I'm running with the psu its just my MSI G4 Ti 4600 gfx card.. 2x HDDs (1x Sata 1xIDE ATA133) 2x CDRoms (1xDVDRW 1xCD-Rom) 1xFloppy drive.. and thats everything.. and when I go down to only 1x hdd and 1xcdrom.. the readings.. again.. are the same (12v rail)

Here is a pic of the rail readings at stock speed with 100% cpu load
and I forgot to mention.. I'm on D0 stepping

The first thing to do is measure the rails using a multimeter and not a software monitoring program. Then you'll have a much more accurate and believable set of readings to go on.

^^im with him, and jsut a question, why do you have such a nice system, and a crappy vid card and psu?

As Nemo has already stated you need to measure your voltages with a digital multimeter. Software monitoring programs are only as good as the sensor chip, which can widely range in accuracy.


Fortron PSU's are known for high quality and bang for the buck. They are not your typical generic PSU.

^^ forgot the qualifier "digital" oops

I dunno about the PSU but I bet his vid card has something to do with PCIe on that 915P board..

As suggested you ideally want to test voltages with a multimeter.
If its still solid then maybe its not the PSU thats your problem (I'm assuming thats what you think is holding your OC back).
