Just curious if it's just me. I have seen threads where other people have mentioned the readings for the PCIe currents being jumpy, but has anyone else got this same PSU and are you seeing occasional ridiculous spike values like two or three times what the possible maximum current on that output should be?
I'd already noticed the reading do jump about rather than varying smoothly, but tonight I watched the Corsair link software while I was load testing my CPU and GPUs and noticed I get values like 25 amps (400 Watts) on an i7 2600k at 4.6GHz. I'd be surprised if it was even using a third of that.
I posted about it here: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=608245#post608245 since it's affecting my ability to use the OCP on this PSU. I want to set up multi-rail mode and have OCP trip points that are quite sensitive and only give reasonably little headroom above the actual max consumption, so an overcurrent condition gets caught quickly, but it's difficult to do that when the readings have these spikes to values well above what can actually be the real current on that output.
