Yellowbeard Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 This is not uncommon and falls within the ATX spec of 5% +/- on the 12v rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider0001 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I know it keeps ATX spec but that doesn't change the fact im having some minor instability with my system, and my friend got one too and its solid as rock with: i5 4430, 560Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I know it keeps ATX spec but that doesn't change the fact im having some minor instability with my system Well, you didn't mention anything about instability in your OP. What exactly is it thats going on with your system?. Instability could be anything ,not necessarily your PSU. Is your system overclocked? Can you try your friends PSU in your system?
