Minimum on the 12V Rail?

Hi,

What's the minimum voltage you need on the 12V rail? Mine is getting rather low 11.7-11.8 and sometimes I hear a harddrive restart.
So, is this to low? What should be the minimum voltage?

Thanks
Greetz

Thats not too bad and to be honest I would not trust any onboard voltage sensors; best to use a multimeter to be 100% sure. But if you are having stability issues or like you say restarting HDs, it might be a sign of a dying or weak psu. Mine sits at11.43v under load lol
