@ Real_Bullet
Is your system having problems or are you just curious? A PSU is more than just its wattage rating. It depends on its 12V amps and other lines to be able to judge properly. It looks like your Voltages are OK. You don't list what your CPU is, but your Video Card is not a huge power consumer, so if your system is running OK under load, you are probably OK.
Here is a link to a power supply calculator. It is a bit overestimated, but you'll get an idea of where you might want to be.

specs of my cpu is in my sig.

i am curious and also I do a comparison to a AMD Sempron 1.8 ghz pc with 64 MB Video.
the AMD one runs faster and better then this one, i dunno why and plus the AMD was able to play games better with FPS on it then this one.

your 12v is to low

**Real_Bullet** · 10-11-2005, 01:27 PM

how to fix it? is it a concern?

dai · 10-11-2005, 01:32 PM

if the supply goes it can take most of the comp with it your readings need to be within 5%+ or 5%-

**Real_Bullet** · 10-11-2005, 01:46 PM

so you would recommend a new PSU? maybe 400-450W?

dai · 10-11-2005, 03:57 PM

use the link 'please' posted and add 30% to the result and it is based on a quality supply not a generic
as quality supplies are around the $100 mark and up,i recommend trying to borrow one to check before buying,if you have to buy get one from a place with a return policy
