Stock 2800+ (assuming its a Barton and a desktop version) is 1.650 volts.

If you're running stable while gaming the PSU is fine.

Your PSU voltages should all be as close to their name as possible... +12 should be very near to 12 volts, +5 close to 5 etc..

thanks H ,yeah its a locked barton core ,but my voltages are as follows (i havent adjusted them in any way) reading from mobo moniter, and yeah desktop pc

core 0 = 3.99 v
core 1 = 4.08v
+3.3 = 4.08v
+5.00 = 4.08v
+12.00 = 15.50v
-12.00 = 6.07v

are these voltages indictive of a psu under pressure they arent exactly how you said they should be ,the dont seem to fluctuate at all tho ,thanks for help ^^oh and yeah havent noticed any problems when gaming cept this in quake 4 with AA enabled

this is the only problem i have with any games ,
1024/768 ,x2 or 4 AA , x8 AF ,geo instance on ,dxt on ,
have a good 60fps most the time on quake with these settings only those dots appear with AA enabled ,turn it off they go but have to live with jaggies

dont know if this is related to a stressed psu >.<

Never trust software readings. If your +12 was at 16 volts, you wouldn't be alive right now the whole thing will go up in sparks
