Guys, are my voltages too low?

Hi people

Well, I dunno how much tolerance people think there is in power supply voltages, how much they may be off by . . . .

So, I was looking at my voltages, and I'm arfaid some may be a bit low. Here's the full list (I dunno what some of them are tho

):

Code:

Vcore. . . . 1.728
Vcc2.5 . . . 2.464 - 2.480 (sometimes goes back and forth)
Vcc3.3 . . . 3.184
Vcc5 . . . . 4.945
+12V . . . . 12.032
SB3V . . . . 3.344
-12V . . . . -11.803
SB5V . . . . 4.999
VBAT . . . . 3.360

Oh, forgot to say my CPU is AthlonXP 1800-palo

Thanks for any help guys

thats pretty normal, i dont think any psu gives out exact voltages... looking at mine they all seem a bit lower than yours are..

The rule of thumb that I live by is if the voltages are within 5% don't worry. Also how stable the voltages are is a factor. I know my vcore goes between 1.808 and 1.82 but that is well within range. Unless your voltage monitor shows your numbers going over +/- 5% rapidly I won't worry at all.

Last bit: If everything is stable at this point (no crashes) all is well.
