Hx520w Voltage Problem?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

The voltages on my psu is not good. The computer freezes after some minutes when cpu is 100%. Anyone that knows what the problem is?

 

+3.3v = 3.25v

+5v = 4.87v

+12v = 11.98V

+5v = 4.92v sleepmode

 

I am reading these statistics in Everest Ultimate, which I know isn't really as reliable as using a power supply tester.

That's well within the ATX spec.

Page 13, section 3.2.1

 

Table 2. DC Output Voltage Regulation
Output    Range   Min.   Nom.   Max. Unit
+12V1DC     ±5% +11.40 +12.00 +12.60 Volts
+12V2DC (1) ±5% +11.40 +12.00 +12.60 Volts
+5VDC       ±5% + 4.75 + 5.00 + 5.25 Volts
+3.3VDC (2) ±5% + 3.14 + 3.30 + 3.47 Volts
-12VDC     ±10% -10.80 -12.00 -13.20 Volts
+5VSB       ±5% + 4.75 + 5.00 + 5.25 Volts
(1) At +12 VDC peak loading, regulation at the +12 VDC output can go to ± 10%.

As you say, the software readings are never reliable. So essentially, you'll never be sure until you measure voltages with a DMM. Which are kinda cheap, you should consider getting one. Always good to have handy, I use mine often
