so i've got some fancy software on one of my computers that makes this really neat siren noise sometimes. I actually didn't realize was supposed to do it if the voltage changed, but it just did.
apparently it thinks that receiving 3.62 v on the 3.3 v rail is a "bad thing". i've had the computer for about a year and a half, it started making the siren noise a month or so ago. i never really thought about it before, so i don't know what the voltage used to be. i just assume it worked right, because it never told me otherwise. normally i'd just throw a different PSU in the computer and not deal with it. but this particular box is one of those fancy "don't even consider upgrading it" computers. small form factor, proprietary power supply, etc. so do i pull apart the psu and start tweaking trim pots until i find one that brings it down to something closer to 3.3v? do i turn the monitoring software off and risk making a paperweight out of my cpu? how much does the 3.3v really matter? justin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
