How High Or Low Can Your Voltages Be?

[clocker]

Are you certain you really want to know this information?

What will you do if you don't like your voltages?

There&#39;s no problem measuring voltages on the 20 pin connector when the system is fully running. In any case, that&#39;s the only place you will be able to get at 3.3v, -5v and -12v.

Oh, and +5v Standby too.

How am i supposed to have the comptuer running and check the 20pin connector...its gotta be connected for the system to run. [/b][/quote]
If you&#39;ve got thin enough probes they should simply push down alongside the wires at the BACK of the connector, with it still plugged in to the motherboard. If not, slide a paperclip down alongside the wires, and take the reading from the paperclip.

Sorry, I assumed you realised this, it is standard practice.

Edit: @clocker, I think in Rossco&#39;s case it is simply a theoretical exercise, like you and I he simply can&#39;t leave well enough alone.

Right i got these voltages from speedfan are they ok or should i scrap my 300W and get a 400+

VCore: 1.54V

+12V: 12.59V

3.3V: 3.12V

Vcc: 4.99V

Vin2: 0.00V

5Vsb: 4.85V

Vbat: 0.00V

Are those readings accurate?
Are you having any problems?

If the answer to both those questions is yes, then you possibly should.
If the answer to the second is no, then you probably shouldn&#39;t.
If the answer to the first is no, and accurate figures are normal, then you probably shouldn&#39;t.

That leaves a sort of maybe, and yes, in which case i suppose you sort of maybe possibly should.

Well its Speedfan and might be a little out. I have had no problem at all everything running smoothly but with the fans i have and all that maybe i should get a bit more of a PSU.

Thanks for help lynx

oh ok lol, didn&#39;t realize i could do this.

@ clocker, are you talking to me or the thread starter? either way, if im not happy with my voltages ill just ignore them, if they are good ill keep testing them over and over to make me feel good about myself.
