    Default Voltage spikes. .

    Anyone else have a PSU that occasionally spikes a lil too high ? I was woken up by my computer screaming like a banshee (alarm for temperatures) and I get some messages like this... Underlined were the areas that were interesting.

    Alarm / Stats

    Anyone know what I can do so this kind've thing doesn't happen again? It decided to also knock my CPU fan down to idling which let the temperatures climb ...

    I wonder how many times I can have my system almost die on me :|

    *knocks on wood*

    *if the above link dies from bandwidth issues...use this link = http://www.eccentrix.com/members/ex1z7/MBM5.jpg - copy and paste or it'll say an error..

    That's pretty extreme. I would be replacing the power supply if mine acted up like that.
    That could easily have caused some serious damage.
    92C at the CPU socket is waaay too high. I worry if mine tops 55C.

    Sounds like you need a better power supply for replacement, and or a ups/power line conditioner.

    Meh, it can take the heat cus it's AMD not intel - if it was intel I'd worry.. but AMD tend to spark out at 200~ after a few seconds and it only lasted maybe 3 or 4 seconds ..

    Just kinda annoying is all

    Are you sure you have the right kind of sensors selected?
    Those numbers don't look realistic. If you chose the wrong sensor, the numbers wouldn't be cailbrated correctly.

    If it's setup correctly, then your PSU is gone for sure. I don't know how your pc has survived anyways.

    OMG 101 degrees @ the diode

    There is no way your line voltage should be seeing spikes like that, it has to be a PSU problem. I'd get a new one A.S.A.F.P.
