danny931 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi, I purchased a Corsair HX850 on 22 Oct 2010 and up until a couple of weeks ago all was apparently fine. However, recently I have notice my PC has started to crash and on investigation I have discovered the following: In BIOS my votages are showing as - 3.3V 2.800V 5V 6.008V 12V 14.048V Also this is shown with CPUID Hardware Monitor. What should I do? Request an RMA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Check with a multimeter. At those levels it shouldn't even boot, which means that the readings are probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny931 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've now extended out one of the black leads and have 12.09V stable on a multimeter. Also wiggled the main mobo connector and the voltage dropped straight down to 12.16V on CPUID Hardware monitor. Also the 3.3V and 5V readings seemed to have normalised. My question now is does the multimeter reading on one of the black sockets categorically say the PSU outputs are all correct or could it still be the main mobo lead? Thanks.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 30, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would suggest using the software to monitor system health that came with your MB, third party applications are many times not accurate till they are calibrated.
