SHAW 860watt tri fan...

what are peoples experiences with this PSU?

I'm currently using on with an E5200, P5KPL/1600, 2gig G.Skill, 640gig HDD.

anyway, most of the rails are pretty solid at a bit over what they're meant to be, however, the CPU voltage fluctuates quite badly, ranging anywhere from 1.12 volts, to 1.25 volts.

the thing is, this voltage is regulated by the motherboard, fluctuations on the PSU rails should not cause this to change...

is the motherboards regulation just very poor? or am I missing something else?

also, the DDR2 800Mhz G.Skill won't even overclock 20% with a slight voltage increase, which is rather disappointing :(

there is no such thing as overkill.

it apparently has:

3.3v @ 47amps
5v @ 50amps
12v1 @ 17amps
12v2 @ 19amps

I don't really believe the figures, but thats not the point.

why does the Vcore vary to much when none of the other rails appear to.

it is just a poorly designed motherboard?
