Antec Smart 350w or new CPU to blame?

[speedstream5621]

My vcore fluctuates so freakin' much it makes my head spin.

Do any of you have similar problems with a comparable rig?

With my old T-Bred A 1800+ @213x8.5 @1.7v, it would fluctuate very little under load.

Now with my CPU in the sig, I fear for my chip's life. It fluctuates quite a bit under load. I noticed that a higer MHZ increases the fluctuation and that there is more fluctuation on this chip at 1.7v than there was on the A chip at the same vcore. When idle, its pretty darn good though, but still worse than it was on the A.

I'm at 1.52v(haha, that's idle temp) now at 214x9.5 and the vcore is fluctuating. Never happened with the A...

I don't see how a CPU could cause this, but I'm open to suggestions. On the other had, I find it hard to believe that my rig is drawing enough juice to cripple my PSU.

So, is it my CPU or PSU?

Maybe I can help a bit on Monday. This isn't EXACTLY the same scenario, but....I'm replacing my HEC 350W with an Enermax 365FMA. My volts do fluctuate a bit, my 5V is like 4.8 undr high o/c and my 12V is like 12.25.

Let's about Monday. If I get more stable....maybe it'll be true for u also.....
