Precipus Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 EVGA tells me to get rid of the Ntune software for now... I am useing everest to monitor voltages to sort this lockup problem as I have just about RMA'd the whole system..it reads 10 volts on both the +12v and -12v rails....exactly where should I be back probing with a volt ohm meter?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 17, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 17, 2007 What is the Model of your MB? And you can check the 12 Volt Rail from one of the 4 Pin Molex connectors for the HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precipus Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 it's the 680i and while I know how to test the psu while not hooked up this does nothing to show how it is doing under load. I was a bit timmid about probing around on the PSU while it was connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Wise. Standard multimeter method: 1. With the system turned off and the multimeter off, insert the positive lead of the meter into the yellow (+12volt) wired pin of the 4 pin molex and the ground/common lead of the meter into one of the black wired pins of the 4 pin molex. You just need to make sure there making good contact, no need to cram them in. Also be sure the bare metal of the meter leads are not touching anything else. 2. Turn on multimeter set to DC volts. 3. Turn on computer and read meter 4. Turn off computer 5. Turn off meter and then disconnect leads. ps: this is for a standard ATX compliant supply, if in doubt about the supply voltage colored wire assignments, check the supplies documentation.
