need software to monitor PSU voltages
Is there a way to monitor PSU Usage/Power Draw to see if your PSU is causing issues?
PSU with monitoring software
Asus has one of those 1200W PSU's that show wattage.

Some softwares like HWmonitor also show wattage numbers but they are not fully accurate because they are in the mercy of getting the voltage and amp information from CPU/GPU which is not always accurate.
If you want to know your true power consumption, get one of those wall watt meters.

what is the best software to monitor the use of my psu ?
I am trying to rule out the possibility that my PSU is causing issues in a select few games I play. Specifically, causing game crashes related to (I think) DirectX. The specific error message is "DIAX ERROR DEVICE HUNG". If someone knows what causes this error message, then great! That will solve my problem. But if not, I have to start somewhere and I might as well start with my PSU as it is the oldest component in my build.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Is there a piece of software I can run on my second monitor or in the background to track PSU load and see if maybe my GPU/CPU isn't getting enough power, hence the crashes, or if there is some kind of issue with my PSU all together.
Again, the specific errors I am talking about are "DIAX ERROR DEVICE HUNG" or "DIAX ERROR DEVICE REMOVED".
Thanks in advance!
