    While they are a lot better, we really should get these numbers from the bios anyway as its almost impossible to get a good consistent read from such software in Windows.
    Speccy may be the best but for this there aren't any that are really even good frankly.

    In cases like this, though I must admit the +12V looks a lot better, the BIOS has to be next to double check, though in my opinion a meter used by a pro can sometimes be the only way to get correct readings. I will not recommend anyone other than trained professional technicians to do that though, just to be safe from doing damage.

    Unfortunately some BIOS systems don't, my Acer Aspire laptop has an early form of UEFI Bios and doesn't show the voltages, yet it does show them on my desktop which has if I remember correctly an American Megatrends BIOS system.
    Can you tell us the details and name of your BIOS system, we may know more from that.

    Hi

    I have just gone ahead and put Windows 7 on my new hard drive had to keep old CPU new one causing problems. maybe in your opinion I should not have but it's done now.

    Anyway as this is now a Windows 7 machine should I start a new topic there in windows 7 section as I am having issues with updating and general usage.


    Regards

    a very interesting topic
    thanks for sharing that ..I will go on the PSU (Power Supply Unit) being either at fault or not strong enough now.. so now I do have a problem I have very limited cash and have read everything rich has said and completely get it but cannot afford a top brand PSU (Power Supply Unit) for now ..so if someone could look on Amazon Uk and find a cheaper one that I could use for now until I get around to it.

    Hi Kanton

    Welcome here ... I am afraid there is not much I can say I was and I am in the same position as yourself but came to realize that I needed to get a branded psu as the others are just not worth it just look around other places and the reviews of cheap psus you will hear the same things over and over it just not worth it so trust me either put it away or something till you can buy one and you cannot go far wrong with a seasonic psu and I am sure the staff here will be in agreement but may also offer some extra advice.

    wish I could have been more help

    Regards

    Radeon R9 280 2GB HDMI
    Power Supply:
    Seasonic 750 watt
    Ok let's see if we can do better for now:
    This is the promotional Seasonic first of all you know I would suggest as the first choice:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-S12II-520-ATX12V-Standard-Supply/dp/B00390P1NO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1401811194&sr=8-2&keywords=Seasonic PSU (Power Supply Unit)
    This brand is new on the market though we know them for great motherboards and video cards so I believe the quality should be good also:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-500B-BRONZE-Power-Supply/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401811298&sr=8-1&keywords=EVGA PSU (Power Supply Unit)
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-600W-Bronze-Power-Supply/dp/B00EN3FD20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401811298&sr=8-3&keywords=EVGA PSU (Power Supply Unit)
    and another Seasonic that represents great value:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1401811410&sr=8-5&keywords=XFX PSU (Power Supply Unit)
    Are these price points better for you because I would not want to go below the EVGA prices, some units in those price points are really scary.
    As Joker has said and I believe myself rather strongly, the psu can be the most important component inside a computer case because it provides fresh clean power to all the components and when one is going bad or is not good enough quality for the job, the damage to other components can be very costly. The psu has the tendency because to be the most overlooked part because many do not realize the risks they are taking using an inexpensive one.
