So I went out and bought a multimeter after I discovered that my +12 volt rail was fluctuating in hwmonitor when I played video games. Ill show you the before and after via OCCT.
This is idle:
This is under load:
I know the 11.84 is still above specs, but I was told the software methods arent very accurate. So lets see if thats true!
These are under load tests.
As you can see the reading is way off in software. I tested every connection I could and they always had the same 12.08 result under load
EDIT: Just tried this on my PSU from my HTPC and my results on the 12 volt was 11.58 via software and 12.01 via multimeter under load.
