| 329008 | 2005-03-01 22:42:00 | Motherboard monitors are notoriously unreliable when measuring PSU voltages. You are better to go buy a cheap digital meter from DSE or Jaycar, even the cheapest will give far more accurate results. I'd want to know the true voltages before I did anything drastic. Cat. Q1467 costs just $12 and even has a data hold function. Cheers Billy 8-{) Thanks Billy I back probed the power connectors and the voltages are ok Molex connector to video card +5v = 5.16 +12v = 12.0 GND = 0.0002v Main ATX Power +3.3v = all 3.42v +5v = all 5.16 -5v = -5.11v +12v = +12.02 -12v = -11.77v GND = -0.0035v to -0.004.7v The original problem has not occured again so hopefully it was just an isolated incident. :) |

| 329009 | 2005-03-02 02:35:00 | Yet again, an illustration of how misleading uncalibrated sensors can be. "4.08" looks serious for a 5V supply. "It must be right, the computer says so" (to two decimal places) . :groan: | Graham L (2) | ||
