AMD's get their primary power from the 5v rail. If they need a little bit of extra power, they go to the 12v (which is why your 12v rail dips when you give your CPU that extra voltage).

okay, thanks for clarifying my misinformation, xduck!:pQuote:

I guess I haven't gone CPU brain-dead over these past months after-all.Quote:

So at 180 your 5v was 4.95 and at 181 your 5v dropped to 4.7. Wow... that's the first I've ever heard of a drop that drastic.
Other people have had drops as well, either larger or smaller; it's not impossible.Quote:

Well I know that it drops your 5v when you overclock, I'm not stupid, lol. But I mean, 1MHz drops .25v on the 5v rail.Quote:

Can anyone else confirm something like this happening to them? Maybe you just had a dying PSU that couldnt take the extra bit of power or something?
I have the same PSU that I did then, and it's running better than ever. My point is this; It can happen, it has happened, it might be his problem. I am just throwing every possiblity out onto the table.Quote:

hey guys, i was finally am home and able to give you accurate voltages:
+3.3 = 3.26
+5 = 4.87
+12 = 11.42
-12 = -11.93
-5 = -5.01
which is most important + or - ?
The + is the most important and your +12v line is IMO way too low.Quote:

your 12v rail is a bit low there....and + is important, - isn't used, so don't worry about it.
my reading came from motherboard monitor, but i decided to see what the bios was reporting according the the bios i am getting +12 = 12.03, which one do you think i should believe?Quote:

in this case, i would believe the bios...
Just read this thread, looking mostly at the motherboard comments, could the reason I can't go much more than 150fsb be due to the mobo? I'm running a nearly 2 year old asus a7n8x 1.0 so being that old it might actually be my problem when trying to overclock?
Is that 2100+ you have a palomino.Quote:
