Do you think that might be why I would get bad sectors on the HD after using it for a while, or that's not a good enough reason to cause bad sectors?
I dunno. I wouldnt think so but I dunno to be sure.
I tried having speedfan run in the background while I play counter strike and the voltages drop a bit.
Yes the sign of an unstable PSU
The 5 v rail goes down to 4.38 and fluctuates at about 3.38 and 4.41 and the 3 v rail goes down a bit too.
Holy crap. Thats a serious drop.
I don't think speedfan is very unreliable because it gives about the same voltages I see in the bios.
Well its supposed to give you same as per BIOS.
