saer Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hello! First time posting here! Luckily I haven't had the need to as my AX1200 has been serving me well for the past 3 years :D: The issue for me is that I can't quite recall ever really noticing my voltages, but I just recently downloaded CPUID and my 3.3v seems really low. Should I be concerned ? :[pouts: http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j339/saer626/asdf_zps7fbe4f96.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahtlon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 These are low for the 3,3 v line.Did you get the same reads when gaming or under heavy load, because I see you do a heavy overclock on your I7 9xx cpu.Also you can look if it's also low when the cpu and nb is on stock voltage.Could be that you take to much of your +5.0v rail, so that the +3.3v rail can't give more.

Should I be concerned ? The big question is ....Is the machine stable? It is on the lower end of what would be considered "in spec" The lowest would be 3.135v. HOWEVER! If you are not having any problems with your machine , then I wouldn't be concerned. Software is almost always wrong and can't be trusted. Check your BIOS first and really you should check them with a digital volt meter if you want to be really accurate.

saer Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Greatly appreciate the responses, my system is and has been running stable so I can't say that it is having an affect on my rig. Bios indicates the same voltages, roughly. I'll be sure to keep a keen eye on that rail from here on out, I don't suppose my warranty covers something like this ?

Absolutely it does! If that rail dips lower and you start having stability issues, they will definitely replace it for you. But if it's stable they usually wont swap it out just because one rail is reading a little low. If it's out of spec thats another thing. That spec would be +/-5% for all three of them. You might even try unplugging all your cables and reseating them. Sometimes over time that connection deteriorates, for lack of a better word, and this often will correct this issue.
