Voltage question
I opened up this program called Winbond Hardware Doctor a minute ago and the alarm was going off for the 5VSB. It said it was running at 4.10 volts. My question is should I be worried about it, and is the program accurate? The computer has been just as stable as its always been.
The power supply is an Antec Smartblue 350watt. Thanks in advance! |

What does the BIOS say?
4.10v on the 5v line is pretty bad and would have led to instabilities by now. My guess is the Winbond Hardware Doctor is not reading the voltages correctly. Many of the Windows based monitoring utilities aren't very accurate.  Cricket

I think its the software - the BIOS is fine (forgot to check that earlier) and the program now says 4.94v. Thanks for the response!

Not to hijack the thread, but is there a way to have the BIOS set an alarm Cricket, and not use software??
