    Weird Voltage....

    Anyone see voltage readings like this from a very stable computer??

    VCore Value = 1.80
    2.5V Value = 3.46 ??? whats up with that.. lol
    3.3V Value = 3.41
    5V Value = 4.93
    12V Value = 11.71

    System is rock solid with no problems... Just wondering why the voltage is off..

    KT7A-RAID 1ST EDITION (latest bios)...does not support AMD XP, Athlon 1000, Geforce 2GTS, 2 IBM 20 gig deskstars raid 0, SBLive value, 512K pc133.

    No, only when using a flaky PSU, my advise would be to get it checked, or check it..

    what type of PSU is it?

    I've seen it - test utility I was using misreported data obtained from hardware monitor chip...

    Did you read that from BIOS monitor? - then it can be a problem...

    2,5V has nothing to do with PSU, Gary... This voltage comes from voltage regulator located on motherboard and used for CPU... may be one of transistors (or voltage regulators) is bad...

    But try different test utils like Motherboard monitor (MBM 5.0), HWinfo or another util...

    I agree with Ruslan, it has to be a false reading. Any computer with that much voltage on the 2.5v line would not be working properly.
