kidgonesmall Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi, I have had your 520hx for about 8 months now only had a few crashes when playing games so i never really payed much attention to it, but lately i have been doing some overclocking on my cpu and gpu.I have an e8400 @ 4ghz and an 8800gt at 720/990. So now sometimes when i play games like css and tf2 i have been getting lockups even though in orthos prime stress i can go without errors for 8 hours+. I think this problem is because the 8800gt is not getting enough juice since on HWmonitor the 12v rail drops to like 11.14v when being stressed with rthdribl, which i find unexceptable. the 3.3v and 5v rails look ok since they dont drop as much, but can you give me some advice? pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/kidgonesmall/4656.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBob Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Just to be safe, you should double check with a multimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidgonesmall Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well, i cant really stress the gpu while in the bios so i wont really see the drop in voltage, but i did install gigabyte's easytune5 program and i still recieved the same results seeing the 12v rail drop to 11.2v pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/kidgonesmall/untitled-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
