Power Question

[Tronronru]

I have an ASUS A7V333 motherboard. While playing with high intensive grahics, my 3.3 volt reading will drop down to 1.8. I have a 400 watt power supply. What causes this and how do I fix it? <p><img src=http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/Hewdamia/i ... </p><i></i>

Get a better powersupply. But don't do that if you are not experiencing any system stablity issues. It may not be an issue.<br><br>A better answer is "TELL YOUR WIFE YOU ARE GOING TO THE LAN!!!!"

New power supply fixed it. Bought a 365 Enermax and everything is running smoothly. Only problem, the holes do not line up to secure the power supply to the back of the case. <p><img src=http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/Hewdamia/i ... </p><i></i>

That's why God gave us power drills. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Tron...this is going to sound silly...but flip it over. Some PS are mounted upside down...don't ask me why...but some cases are set up that way. <p><table border="0"><tr><td><embed align="left" src="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="217" height="166" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border="0" style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>"You weren't much of a challenge" - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>

Tried that Ice. The only problem is that enermax has the dual fan. One is on the bottom of the power supply. If you flip it over, the fan would be under the top of the case. <p><img src=http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/Hewdamia/i ... </p><i></i>

Yup. My Antec PSU is a dual Fan jobbie. But mine lined up real pretty like. <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!<p align=center>"Manly Men, Unite!"<i> -XMEN|Ambush Bug[DTM]</i></font></p></p><i></i>

Just drill it. Much easier in the end.<br><br>What kind of case do you have, for future reference?<br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>
