I just got my a7v a week ago and all is going well. However, I have one worry. Both the Asus Probe monitor and MBM5 (not running at same time) report sudden voltage spikes and/or dropouts occasionaly. For instance Asus Probe will pop up saying that the +12V has dropped down to +8V or the -5V is at -7V. Now I know everyone's first guess will be my powersupply. However, the case is a New Supermicro SC-760A with the 300W Redundant Cooling PS. I got it new with the motherboard, so I'd guess it is possible that it is defective, however it's certainly not a cheapo one. Stability wise, the board has done fine, I've been running Prime95 (keeps CPU load at 100%) for days now, I've never had it crash on me. My guess is that the fault is with the monitoring itself and not the actual voltage, however, I'd hate for a dead board to prove me wrong. Anybody got any ideas I should try? Here's my current config:
Asus A7V
TBird 750 (at default clock and voltage, JumperFree enabled)
128mb CL3 PC133 SDRAM
Voodoo3 3000 AGP
Maxtor 10gb 7200 RPM drive.
Guillemot Fortismo Soundcard
Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 PCI NIC
Toshiba 6x DVD Drive
Supermicro SC-760A Fulltower Case w/ 300watt Redundant Cooling PS.
Running NT4 SP6a and Redhat Linux 6.2
Your help is greatly appreciated
