    Now when I test the psu under no load it reports fine but with the 3.3V out of spec reporting over voltage. (with the psu disconnected and hooked up to a psu tester that is.

    Got up to 160W load on it and still can not get the voltage to read out of spec. Perhaps there was a short or something that was corrected by swapping out the psu's...

    What PSU is it?

    1.2 Kw pc power and cooling. It has a 7 year warranty so if I can find an actual issue with it I can get it replaced no problem.

    I swapped it out with a 750W pc power and cooling silencer and then increased the stagger start up rate for my HDDs to prevent too much strain on the smaller unit.

    I have a hard time believing you can stress a 750w psu without going trifire/sli
    Pre/post OCZ?

    Anyways you seem to have the issue under control, dont think I can be much help.

    System uses about 400W under no load with 50% of the cooling system turned off. I can only simulate 160W of load using the cooling system from a 10 year old system on the suspected bad psu but so far can not find anything wrong with it despite the fact that swapping it out has for now resolved my problems in that I can run furmark with no issue.

    These psus are all pre ocz. The 750W I am using in here now is about 8 years old. Did not even have an 8pin gpu connector as I had to use a dule 6pin to 8pin adapter.
