Wired Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Check the BIOS. They're flat out wrong. For example: PSUs don't even HAVE a -5V line anymore :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renkie Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 You seem to be right on the most settings BUT My +12v is only 11.7 - 11.8 in the bios, this is in my opinion quite low..... Even more when I think about the fact that in the bios screen the biggest power consumer, the GFX 295 is doing nothing at all at that time ! When I start the computer in Windows I had more then once that the screen resolution just goes back to 800x600 I have an 'voltage meter' tool, to wich wires should I connect this to read out the voltage of the +12v line ?

Renkie Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just checked the diagram picture http://forum.corsair.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=3676&d=1213300907 My GFX295 has 2 power connectors wich both have to be connected. Im using 1x6 pin and 1x8 pin To wich 12v rails should they be connected ? Both to the same colour ? (both are @ orange now) Or 1 at red and 1 @ orange ?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 25, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 25, 2009 The ATX spec indicates that the 12v rail should be between 11.4v and 12.6v to be within spec. As for the PCIE cables, just make sure that you plug in 2x PCIE cables that are on the same rail. You do not want to plug in one 12v1 and one 12v2 connector into the same card.
