    Then swap the PSU....... Or take out other variables like GPU, mobo and. 
     
    Hardware monitor tells us nothing about the state of the PSU.

    So 2 things here. First off, if your PSU is old and you're having problems, replace ASAP since the problems will get worse not better. You can find good, cheap ones depending on your build (if you give us your country and build specs we can help you get one cheap).
     
    Second off, don't give a ton of trust to HWInfo's voltage readers. Sometimes motherboards don't support readings for the voltage rails or they're improperly configured and I remember HWInfo reading 8V on my 12V rail once in my computer.
     
    Though those voltage readings are normal (the 12V is a little low but not a lot), that's not the only way a PSU can give problems. It depends what's going on whether you should replace ASAP or can put it off a bit.
     
    By the way @jonnyGURU is a PSU expert, literally. He runs a website that reviews them and knows them like the palm of his hand. You can definitely trust him.

    Yes, that's a good idea!

    According to the Mining things is the defect rate over 60mV higher.
    So lower is to be preffered.
    But it shows how far things have gone when we call things that are less than half the spec bad...
     
    Yes, it is as there is a point where it gets totally irrelevant and hard to measure.
    You can't really measure 10mV or less, especially since you often have other shit you pick up...
     
    So why hype something you can't even measure reliable??
     
    So I'd say that 40-50mV is fine.

    Whats the worst scenario that can happen? It will shut down pc? Or it will 'burn' something?
