Weird problem with a Seagate 200 gig

what power supply are you running?? with 4 hard drives it might be not enough power Yeah I was using several 400 watts a while ago and at a power calculation site I did see I seemed to be close the max. I bought two 500 watters Ultra X and supposedly a SuperFlower which is according to some posters decent sold under the MADDOG brand. Didnt have any problems with the MADDOG if it is the MD until suspiciously I changed the nforce4 chip cooler so Im pretty sure its that , However I was thinking of swapping it out cause like I said Im getting screwy readings with MBM. In bios my voltage and temp readings seem fine but the voltage readings are wacked out in MBM with the 5 volt rail reading 3.27 That alarmed me until I rebooted and checked the bios and the bios always reads very close to what the voltage should be for all readings. I might still try swapping the ULTRA X for it just for the hell of it. Ive also tested it by unplugging extra HDs and only using 2. The no 1 suspect is the chip cooler. Im really disgusted with this system at the moment. |
