12.59 safe?

[Jakalwarrior]

On my IS7, my 12 volt was showing 12 volts like its sposed to. On my neo2 plat its showing 12.59 What gives? is that safe? My powersupply didnt come with the adjustment panel thingy since its just a truepower 2 so what do I do?

Its probably not actualy 12.59, the voltages reported by motherboards are usualy inaccurate. Do you have a multimeter? If you do use it to check the voltage.

Firstly, motherboards may be a little off in reading voltage. Check with a proper multimetre if you can.

Secondly, another thing to consider is that the board may draw extra voltage in case the voltage dips under heavy load. Check voltage under load and see how it is.

Thirdly, your margin of error is usually around 5% which means 12.59 if real, is a little high.

Fourthly, have you had any issues?

Its high if its really reading at that level, like David said check it with a multimeter if you can, but 12.6v is not going to kill anything.
