Have we decided if AbitEQ is useless yet?

canadianpsycho · 05-06-04, 08:21 PM

Just swapped a TT Silent Purepower 420W with 18A on the 12V rail for an Antec TrueBlue/Control 480W with 22A on the 12V

My 12V rail is still dipping to 11.67 according to Abit EQ....

It's very possible it is the board having trouble with the 12v rail. The amps on the rail will only help under a lot of stress and although one PSU may have more amps on it, it doesn't mean it will keep stronger voltages. I noticed differences in rails with 3 different PSUs, so it does record accurately, especially tested against my Multimeter. Maybe teh board has issues, not the uGuru chip itself or EQ.

for voltage rails abiteq is usless to me. i read the voltage in the "EQ" then with a volt meter and the difference in voltage was a .30-.35. Like right now EQ says 11.59v but its actually 11.89-.92 (folding or not folding). the psu is a superflower 550watt single 120mmfan, quite and nice too i might add.

I have found the Abit EQ numbers to be pretty close.
It says my 12V is at 12.05, with a multimeter, I get around 12.09-12.1V, 5V is right on target, and 3.3V is very very close.

Even though for the most part, I hate Abit EQ, since it is the only thing we have to use on the AI7, I guess I have to live with it
