doubts with RM1000

doubts with RM1000

 

greetings forum members.

my doubt is about my corsair RM1000 power supply, which has been with me for 4 years, since i bought it i connected the fan directly to a +12v line so it works without the zero db fan mode, because in my country there is no manufacturer RMA or corsair service centers and i use the pc without air conditioning.

 

my doubt is the following one with my current configuration in the rail of +12v I have a voltage of 12.10V realizing this measurement in connector of +12v of the graph, this measurement I realize it with a multimeter FLUKE 179, on having realized a BECHMARK to my graph in this case the Unigine Superposition in configuration 1080p medium, the voltage falls and varies to values of +11. 99 and +11.97V, I would like to know if with a load as low as the one my pc generates for this 1000 watts source this is normal or it is that my source is already devalued.

 

apologies in advance for my english.

 

PS: I attach photos of the corsair link without the pc without load.

What a great question,, not being a corsair rep I'd say use other software to double check?

 

I am using my RM1000 to run a Folding@Home "PC",, it is running 2 MSI R9 290's on a new B360 A Pro,, which means-- I needed 5 PCIE connections! :laughing:

 

Anyway when everythings running its using 460W and the bloody RM1000 fan still wont spin! Its nearly too hot to touch so I put a 120fan next to it.. :sunglasse

I think your real problem mate is that box of XXXX in the background ;-)

At least get the Gold stuff !!!

in my case the fan is working all the time at maximum rpm because of the modification I did, the voltage check is done with a fluke 179 multimeter not with any software.

Those voltages are still well within spec and the PSU is fine.

 

if I see the ranges well since the tolerance is +/-5 percent, what makes me worry is that with such a low load for that PSU I decrease to +11.97 if I increase the consumption example including a more powerful graphic the voltage values decrease more, I have in another PC a CX750 and under load with consumer graphics like the HD7970, R9 280x, GXT 780ti, the voltage does not vary under load is stable measured with the same multimeter.

greetings, there are no more opinions to my question, I would like to hear more criteria from other users with experience in this subject.

Those voltage fluctuations are perfectly normal. In fact, they're very good.

 

You're only dropping 130mV!!

 

thank you for your response

LOL! I can see the Pub from here!!! XXXX
