    Maybe its the new revisions that are reading the voltages correctly? I have no such problems like yours.
    Anything under 3V on the 3.3V rail is just plain wrong.... You should be getting random reboots or something.
    Ok, thanks. Will RMA the PSU and get a new one. Even if it doesn't fix the video issue, I would rather have it be right.
    I think he means that if the rail really was that bad-you would be getting the reboots. So...if you don't experience any problems...you're fine-its just a misread of the rail.
    Don't even bother......I'm sure you saw initially that 'the system isn't overclocked....
    Yes, I read the entire initial post before responding to it. Apparently, some do not.

    Yes, yes, I meant that you should be having lots of problems (not just artifacts) if your PSU was underpowering that much.

    As hwmicre said, seems like the 3.3v rail is actually reporting vdimm...

    I loaded MBM 5, and my 3.3V line is putting out 2.98V. Could this cause the problem?

    The PSU is still under warranty also...
    When you have a low rail, (voltage), the hardware will always draw the same amount of power (wattage). This causes the hardware to draw more amperage through the rail at that lower voltage. More current (amps) = more heat and premature death. If you can adjust the rail, I would increase it immediately. If not, replace the power supply as soon as possible.
