That is why it is important for overclockers to buy good PSUs.

Deathonator,you sir are my hero,if i had a sister i would send her to you with a pizza and a six pack>i've spent hours,days,weeks,almost 2 months now wondering what kind of sick joke my pc was playin on me.It had ITT smartguardian which i never trusted,then i got MBM5,here are my voltages(my vcore goes from 1.66 up to 1.77 and back and forth,no games fro me,very bad performance,yada yada. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
