DrDarkTempler Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I know software monitoring is somewhat unreliable. But are those voltage in the safe range? according to the Speedfan.. Core -> 1.35-1.39 +3.3V -> 3.28-3.29 +5V -> 4.85-4.89 +12V -> 11.85-11.90 -12V -> -1.50 -5V -> -8.78 Vbat -> 3.12 All those are in average reading Are those safe range voltage reading?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 7, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 7, 2009 There is no -5 rail on this PSU, I question where -8.78 is coming from...:D: I would suggest you check the readings in the BIOS. I personally have not seem any software voltage monitor that is close to accurate at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have not seem any software voltage monitor that is close to accurate at all. On the Bios reading.. It gave me... +3.3V -> 3.27-3.29 +5V -> 4.98-4.99 +12V -> 11.89-11.90 Are those in a ok range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well within range (5% variance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have not seem any software voltage monitor that is close to accurate at all. well to say the least that is slightly reassuring. i have been having problems with a new build, and i brought the psu (i have the same one) to a friend to check. he comes back later and says to me "everything seems to be okay, but you seem to be missing a -5 volt." oh well. i will make an official thread on this later.

Synthohol Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 but you seem to be missing a -5 volt." oh well. i will make an official thread on this later. no need, there has not been a -5v (white wire pin 20) in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 no need, there has not been a -5v (white wire pin 20) in years. and it has been years since i built my last computer. thats why it was so confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX Correct. -5v hasn't been required since 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
