ASUS Probe blipping at me (erk!)!

[double-dragon]

When I plug any more fan(s) into my psu ASUS Probe starts blipping telling me that the psu is close to its threshold.
I think my psu is 350W. Is a 400/500W one neccesary?

I am going to buy a new psu anyway because the noise of this one is driving me insane . Any reccomendations for a nice, budget, SILENT(!) psu?

Cheers

Dunno if you can get this...

If you can get hold of a QTEC 550W...it cannot do any harm. I have that and I am happy...rocksolid voltage readings and mainly CHEAP. Hahaha.

Close to threshold ... ok what are the values?

 

[double-dragon]

well the 12v meter was reading over 13.5v

 

[double-dragon]

I changed the settings of the Threshold to 15% over 12v....is that safe?

Well if you're reading over 13.5v thats a clear indication that your rails are seriously messed ... id consider a new PSU (or possibly rearranging the wiring config for all your drives and stuff)

Is it a serious problem? ie. will anything break if I dont get it sorted?

As I said I will be getting a new PSU soon enough 'cos this one is waaaay too noisy

Dude ... you're overpowering the 12V rail ...

 

[double-dragon]

Ok.
Whats the best way to have the wiring set? I just made sure everything had a molex in it...obviously I did it wrong.

There is no really "best way" .. just try to avoid having multiple heavy drain devices powered off the same rail
