    Voltage tolerances for ATX are +/- 5%, except for the 12V rails which are +/- 10%, so they look OK to me.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Ok, thanks, I'll try that. But I will get a new PSU anyway, I have read a lot of good reviews about the Tt Butterfly 480w psu, so I think that might be a good investment.
