power problem

**emosun** · 08-07-2007, 01:35 PM

it doesn't really effect anything on my computer but my power supply is showing only 10.43v on the 12 v. its an antec trio 430w. i looked in the bios and doesn't display the power there. like i said its runs fine and games fine just says 10.43v

also while im at it. my mobo manual says it supports 133/166/200mhz ddr , two modules up to 2 gigs. and thats all it says in the whole manual. right now i got a 256mb 266mhz , and a 512mb 266mhz. i was wondering if i bought two matching 1gigs 300mhz i saw, will those work just fine? even tho they are 300mhz will they run at 200 then? or should i find 200mhz 1 gig modules.

have you a link to your m/board
you need to check the psu with a multimeter the 10.43v seems to be a false reading
see what this lists it at

more than likely but you need to check the psu looks a little on the light side
