View Full Version : 12v rail is kind of high?
I'm using OCZ 520w powerstream. this PSU doesn't have 8pin ATX12v1 as mobo required to power up. i use 2x 4pin (P4 and P4+) combine as 8pin then i plug into the 8pin connector. now the 12v rail is 12.44v as multimeter read. is that high people?

sounds within spec
a little high is what alot of people shoot for, people used to mod there PSU (and some still do) to make the rails run a little high.

What is the change between idle and load? If you see a huge jump in the 12V readings at load, you may have a slight problem on your hands. Remember that all rails are fused before the OCP/Regulation circuitry.

loaded 12.43-12.44v
idle 12.44-12.45v
very very tiny change, kind of nothing
If you have powersteam just adjust 12v rail by lowering it.

Thanks for remind me buddy. set it back to 12.22v

12.02 would suffice as well. You should have nothing to worry f the rails remain steady between load/idle conditions. :)
