5V rail low. Too many 5V fans?

[mazir]

I have an Antec True Power 480. My 5V rail is at 4.53 V, 12 is at 11.88 and 3 at 3.23. The 12 and 3 are acceptable, but the 5 seems very low. I have 4 5v 80mm panaflos and 1 5v 120mm fan. Do you think all these fans drawing from the 5v rail could lower it so much?

These voltages are all measured with a multi-meter.

Thanks in advance.
Cheer.

p.s. This is what I have in my computer:
Gigabyte 7VRX with Athlon Xp 1600+ @ 2000+
Sapphire 9800 Pro
1 x 80Gb WD
1 x 60Gb Ibm
1 Gb ram
sound, lan etc...

Try unplugging all the fans you don't need and see if the +5 goes up.

4.892 .....................sometimes 4.865
3.216


good luck with that man, id try removing the fans and seeing if thats the problem

Are you sure those fans are 5v? I've rarely seen 5v case fans. especially a 120mm one.

yeah, unless you modded your fan wires, they are all running at 12v. not a lot of fans will run very well at 5v

Yeah I'm sure they are 5V. I modded them for silence.
