Good Evening!!!
The PSU in question is in my sig but I have noticed that there is a degree variance going on and I wondering if it is normal.  Right now while in game the minimum is 11.664v, the max is 12.024 and the current is 11.736. Are those normal or should I be worried? While I was playing just now, first time it has ever happened, the screen started to flicker. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    If you're monitoring your voltage via hwmonitor or some other software utility forget about the reading as it's inaccurate.

    Sajin,
     
                Yes I was using hwmonitor. Do you know of a different way to monitor or check the PSU? Do you know what would make the screen flicker/flash like it did by any chance? Sorry, full of questions this morning. Thanks for any help.

    Best way to monitor PSU voltages would be by using a multimeter. The flicker may have been caused by some program running in the background or a unstable overclock on the GPU. Are you using EVGA Precision X? If so, you should try uninstalling it to see if your issue disappears, precision has been known to cause all sorts of issues for people while gaming including flickering.
