I've been racking my brain and i cannot think for the life of me which rating informs you whether a psu will supply vcore healthily. I ask tyhis because i just upgraded my e4300 system by putting in the legendary giga-byte 965p-ds3 and i have overclocked from 1.8ghz to 3.4ghz i can only keep 3.4 stable when i up cpu voltage from 1.2v to 1.6v but when i do this i see the vcore failing in the bios's health section i can only maintain 1.55v stably without vcore failing. I assume this is my cheap ebuyer 550w PSU i doubt it is the board as it is ready to go way past 2v.
Does anyone know what part (which voltage) i should be looking at to be able to supply my system with a good vcore?
Also does anyone know a good budget overclockers PSU?
p.s. if it helps my psu specs are as follows:
+3.3v : 28A
+5v : 35A
+12v : 30A
-5v : 0.5A
-12v : 0.8A
+5vsb : 2.5A
Edit: Okay i decided to have a look to see if my voltages were fluctuating and i installed speedfan and i'm quite worried about the results:
-12v : -16.97v
-5v : 8.58v
Thats really got me worried but i'm not an expert when it comes to electronics so i'm not sure what that could mean for me, anyone here able to shed some light?
Something else that has me a bit baffled but not worried is the fact that core 1 reads 1.55v exactly as i set it whilst core 2 is supposed at 2v, anyone know if i should be worried bout this?
