I have a Cooler master extreme power Plus 650W SMPS and have just attached a HDD and a PCI WiFi card to it. The system has a Athlon 4400+ and a basic micro ATX m/b. I bought a GTX 275 and gave it a try even when the min was rated at 40A SMPS for the card and mine had 36A.
To take a safer route i under clocked it quite a bit and ran the system. The system worked and still is working ok but i did note when the Card and CPU is pushed to the limit while benchmarking the 12v rail goes down to 11.56v-11.59v but the card runs fine and benchmarks show no artifacts what so ever.
So my question is will 11.56v on a 12v be a problem. Since i have no stability issues and the system works fine tough the smps is a bit warmer than before??
