5.25 on the 5 rail?!?!?!

[red_dragon]

is 5.25 on the 5v rail too high? I recently adjusted my 12v pot and the 5 rail wen up too...is that too high?

[cetoole]

Not a problem, well within atx spec.

[red_dragon]

ah ok good good. :)

[larrymoencurly]

Unless you measured that with a multimeter, there's no way to know if it's OK or not.
You should consider turning the pots back to their original positions, which I'm sure you marked, right? ;)

[red_dragon]

of course I measured with multimeter. And I do know where the pots go back to if needed.

Actually 5.25v is the top of the ATX spec unless they've
changed it since last I looked.

+/- 5%

5v = 4.75v - 5.25v
12v = 11.40v - 12.60v
3.3v = 3.135v - 3.465v

[red_dragon]

sooo... is that dangerous?

[Susquehannock]

Wouldn't say it's dangerous. From what I've read overvolting can be as bad
or worse than undervolting in many instances.

[red_dragon]

so...who says turn it down who says it's ok? hehe

Depends on how much variation your +5v rail has. If you turned it up to
compensate for large dips I'd say leave it where it is. But if it's holding a tight
range I'd turn it down to 5.000v.

[computerpro3]

leave it. Too much voltage is better than not enough, and unless you have a pcp&c or zippy or something, your voltages are gonna drop at least a little bit under load.

I ran my voltage lines @ the following with my pcp&c 510 deluxe for almost a year

3.3@ 3.85v
5v@ 5.35
12v@12.6v

Sometimes I varied them a little higher or a little lower, but thats prolly where I ran them for the most part.

You're fine. :attn:

There are people over at xtremesystems who have their 3.3v rail higher than your 5v rail, but you should be fine.

well thats quite the exaggeration, but he's right on the you should be fine part. :p

I think the highest 3.3v line in normal use is like 4.1v, which is still ridiculously high. :clap:

[Susquehannock]

You know, I've tried overvolting my PSUs on occasion and it didn't
make any difference in OCing potential at all.

> 5.52v on the 3.3v rail would be very excessive. The most I've seen is around
4.2v, and that's only to allow more juice to the vDIMM hard mod.

I was not exaggerating, here is the proof: http://xtremesystems.org/forums/member.php?u=1227

[computerpro3]

holy crap he upped those since I last saw them...but still, that's just cranking it up, not or stable everyday use.

[Voodoo Rufus]

Yes, 5.25 is within the +/-5% spec and is safe. I tweaked my PSU at idle to output that as well. Besides that, you're fine.
