    Howdy all!

    The other day I put a new shiny SSD in my machine to replace my Velociraptor games drive. While I was there I checked the hardware monitor and noticed that my 3.3v line was red - it was reading as 2.94v. Is it something I should be worried about? Can I correct it somewhere?

    Specs:
    i7 920 @ 4.06GHz
    X59 Sabertooth board
    1kw Corsair

    I think that I might jump to Haswell when it rears its head, can't wait to see how they clock.

    The only way to boost it is to replace the PSU.

    What software told you this?

    Sorry, I had typed it was in the BIOS but I must have deleted it.

    Try sticking a multimeter across it to see if the bios is giving you the correct readings

    I'll see if I can get my hands on one for a day or so. Sadly it's not a tool I have.
