Thanks for the warning, but I'm not too worried about 80mV of ripple. Nothing besides HDDs use 12V directly anyway and the DC-DC step down converters will filter that out no problem.

Also, I've already had the PSU for over 3 years without issue. I'll cross my fingers and stick with it for now.

12v is used for 90% of all the hardware in a PC so 80mv of ripple is to almost everything in your system not just the HDD´s

And just because you had it for a while does not make it good, in fact almost everyone that own that turd of a PSU says the exact same thing right untill it dies
You have been told so cant say you otherwise when it dies.

I posted pics and screen shot info in the past

It's very basic

1.38 volts 46 x 100 took down change timings to extreme settings it's prime stable 20 + hours and I game ect for bit now
I do have a different motherboard with a ASUS but the same chip

I'm also running a huge 850 watt power supply and my own custom water loop with a over cooler and 3 overkill fan it's a bit loud for my liking to be honest.

Can I also ask what wattage PSU's you guys are using please?

I currently have a 600W PSU.

850 Watt see my PC in my sig with Information + pics in my profile

Again, thank you for the warning Shilka. I think it's great that you went through the trouble to take the measurements and share them with the forum.

While this is getting off-topic, I do want to clarify my statement because I wasn't clear. Yes, 90% of all HW in your PC is sourced from the 12V rail, none of the logic on that HW is running directly off of 12V. 12V is stepped down to 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V, 0.92V...etc. And with that step down circuitry is plenty of filtering that will take that 80mV ripple with no issue (at least on any decently designed circuit). The only things running directly off of 12V are motors (fans or HDD spindles) or in some cases SSD surprise power loss holdup circuits (capacitor banks). And for those devices, I'm not worried about the 80mV.

If I were buying a new PSU today, sure I would avoid the turd of a supply I own, but I'm not too worried about it for now. I can live without my computer for a few days should it fail. Again, thank you for the research and the warning.

Hi Quad, thanks for you help.

Does your ASUS MB have the Turbo Boost feature in BIOS and if so did you keep Turbo Boost enabled?

What software do you use for stress testing? I see you use CPU-Z for the performance monitoring?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Briank, did you manage to get screenshots of your BIOS please?

Regards,

Paul

Sorry for necroing this thread. Hoping someone still reads this and can give me some help. I'm using the Z68X-UD3H-B3 (newest UEFI BIOS) with a 2600k and I'm trying an overclock with DVID at +.02. I'm at 4.4 and Prime95 testing seems to be stable, but I notice that during the stress test the CPU speed jumps between 3400 and 4400. CoreTemp is reporting that all 4 cores load are @100% so I'm surprised to see the CPU fluctuating like this. Is this normal behavior under a DVID OC?? At 100% percent load I would expect the CPU speed to stay constant at 4400. I want to sure it's not throttling for some reason. Any advice appreciated!

Try another monitoring software, HWInfo is usually the best for this kind of tasks.
Run P95 alongside HWInfo and share your screenshots and results.

What is the cpu voltage, T°, load-line calibration, VRM setting you are using?
