Fortron 530 Question


I just got my Fortron 530 from NewEgg and installed it right away, from what I notice from Asus Probe that the voltage on +12,+5, +3.3 and Vcore are not stable heres the reading.

12v- 12.096-12.16
5v- 4.919-4.892
3.3v- 3.312-3.328
vcore-1.664-1.68

My rig is XP3000
3 HDD, 250,180,80 GB
5 80mm Fan and 1 120mm fan
1 DVD burner

is this alright or do I need to adjust the pot of the PSU?

appreciate the help.

first, you would need to read the voltages with a voltmeter...to be sure of what they are...

second, even if those voltages were correct, they would be fine, all within spec and not moving much at all

one of the voltmeter leads goes into the molex (red=5v, yellow=12v) or the back of the mobo/psu ATX connector (orange=3.3v and 5v and 12v are red and yellow)...and the other ground lead, should be placed in the ground wire of the back of a molex connector or the metal case...

that's pretty stable id say
and if you wanted to, you can pop open the unit and tweak all the rails up to a little over spec so when the load gets heavy it only dips down to within normal range, it helps, trust me on that one.

sometimes they're accurate, but mostly just in the range of the voltage you're getting. say it reads a high of 12.3 volts and a low of 11.9, even if those are off, they're probably both off by the same amount so you know it ranges by .4 volts.
