Hi there.
I hope that this problem wasn't mentioned before, as I've read a LOT of threads without finding any information.
I've got a super-silent 550W Psu
with
12V - 24A with multimeter 11,99V
5V - 40A 5.17V
3.3V - 32A 3.36V
combined 305W on 3.3 and 5V
My system isn't stable with the 2nd prime 95 test.
The reason is, that nearly the whole system (in my sig (my cpu is running 9,5*200 at the mo)) is running on the 12V rail.cpu,board,drives,fans,gfx..... under load the 12V is stable, but at 11,85V and seems to drop slowly.
I don't know how far it would drop, as the test exits with an error.
My idea was to sense wire mod the 12V rail to 12.2V. Would this help anything?
And what about the 5V rail, I've got the impression, that's it isn't used at all.
Is there any way, like soldering rails to the board, to make the system more stable?
I'm going to find some points on the board in order to get more voltage values..
thanks
