MBM5 shows my +12v line at 10.83v. From what i understand this is pretty bad. Is this really bad and what affect would this have on my system. My psu is an Antec sl400 400 watt psu. I was thinking about getting the thermaltake w0014 480 watt psu. Is this a good psu and what differences I can expect from the change?

That's pretty bad. Is that just at idle too?
More SATA power connectors (it only has one)
A 24 pin power adapter to come with it
More amps on the 12v. It has 18, but if I had it to do over I would of gone beefier.
Also there are module ones, so you only plug in the power cables you need. Would be really nice for organization.
Overall though, for the price it has been very solid.
I have that power supply. It has been pretty good. Has a fan controller so you can keep the noise down OK. Nothing to write home about either. Things I would of liked would have been:

I would'nt trust MBM5,Check in your bios and see what it say's,MBM is showing all my stuff running lower too.
yeah its kid of odd because ive heard this is a good power supply i have maybe mbm5 is reporting incorrect numbers. are there any other more accurate programs i could use to check or is a multimeter necessary? also could this be limiting my ocing potential because i dont seem to be able to go very high and i have adequate cooling? what would be your recommendations for a replacement psu?
