My -12v hovers around -13.8 to -14

Is this too low (or high depending how you look at it)?

Other voltages are:

+3.3 = 3.23 to 3.25
+5 = 5.49 to 5.51
+12 = 12.54 to 12.6

PSU is Enhance 460W ENS 0246 (dual 12v with pots for adjusting all rails)

note to self: amend sig :P

current computers do not use the -12v rail. They only use the +v rails. However your 12v+ IS too low. So a new PSU might be something to look at.

!!!CORRECTION!!!

They are actually too high :eek:. Thats either a signal indicating your mobo is shot or your PSU is about to blow.

Hmmm...I may simply adjust the rails accordingly. ;)

Thanks for the fast response(s).

well, i think your 12V is ok, but your 5V is NOT. Generally you want to operate ina region of +/-5% of the nominal value. Your 5V rail is off by 10%!!!!

Thanks for the replies folks.

Adjusted rails and all are within +/- 5% now. :D
