I also used extensions which might be faulty too but I ahve tried psu without extensions and it gives me the same voltage. I got MSI Z77 mpower mobo which got voltage check points that I can check with multimeter. Can I trust them?

Here is voltages in bios with original cables

Do you have any proof? It works well for me and my customers and is usually close if not accurate. The thing is his card is not getting the power it is requesting and that can be a few problems but ultimately it also means the psu is not sending enough power. I would readily accept that if you had gave him possibilities of where this issue stems from but all you said is that software is faulty and cannot be trusted. That really helps us figure out what is wrong.

ADDON: He has no ripple and hwmonitor reports the similar off results with no ripple

Well... Now I'm using other mobo and psu and voltages are still the same! Is there anything else could cause the issue?

Have you tried testing with another GPU to see if 0 voltage still shows on BIOS?

No, but 12V shows as 8V on AX860. It shows same with other psu, mobo and no gpu. My 12V is too low.

I just can't believe that it doesn't get enough power cause that PC won't draw more than 400 watt..

I know. I can't believe my self. I'm using only 1hdd,1ssd, ir 3770 and gtx 660. My system doesn't even use half of wattage my psu have.

Easiest way to tell if your PSU isn't supplying the correct voltage is to use a voltmeter.

Measure with everything connected MB, HDD, GPU, etc. Then measure again with everything disconnected using paper clip method.

he doesn't have a meter and i wish he could have gotten somebodies else rig to use to test everything card included. http://www.overclock.net/g/i/1791954/my-baby/sort/display_order/ thats the link to my old voltage readouts with siv and i have another readout i will do with this psu with siv to show results.

dont worry if you explain the problem they will understand.

ouch but what else could it be? this is a different mobo and psu and the problem still stands that the card isn't getting enough power at stock before modded. it only hit 83% tdp and the thing throttled the whole time.

I think i figured it out. It has to be the OS. Thats the only thing you still have thats the same.

Should I re-install it? Make a clean install?
