I just switched my power supply from 200W to 300W due to all my added periphrials, fans, etc...Now when I power up the computer, the AOpen motherboard monitor shows the following voltages:

3.3V @ 3.46, sometimes 3.55
12V @ 12.55
5V @ 4.75
VCore @ 2.05

I get warning messages that the 3.3V is exceeding the high settings of 3.46! What does this mean? Is this bad? Can I fix it? Why is it happening? AAGGHH! Please offer any advice, Thanks!

My specs are: AOpen AX6BC Pro ver. 1.01, PIII500 @ 585, vcore @ 2.0, 128 pc100 SDRAM, V770 TNT2, V2 SLI, MX300, CD-RW, CR-R, WD 6.4 HD, 4 radio-shack "squirrel-cage" fans.

south fla, these numbers are normal...those values will never be right at 3.3v, 12v, 5.5v, etc. they always stay in a margin of usually about 3.3v-3.7v, 12v.-12.7v, etc. this is noithinbg to worry about, and i hope you got thru floyd ok, your name sounds like south florida.

I encountered a similar problem with my Ax6bc. Details can be found in a thread at another BBS.
