    Question Should I be worried ?

    Hey guys, first off, great service. everything arrived safely yesterday, put it together last night.

    Just after some advice really.

    A8N SLI Premium, 3800 X2 with AC 64 Pro cooler, 2 x 1GB, 1 x Hitachi 250GB SATA HD, LG DVD burner and an XFX 7900 GT sitting in a Gigabyte Aurora case with 3 x 120cm fans all powered by a Tagan Easycon 530 PSU. All settings standard

    Running Asus probe to monitor the temps whilst running Prime95 and noticed my +12V rail sitting at 11.78. All other voltages are spot on just this +12V rail has dropped signifacantly.
    Stop the Prime95 torture test and it rises to 11.84.

    Should I be worried ?

    Personally, id say no

    BUT if you find your system becomes unstable, that will be a likely cause

    like i said, i wouldnt worry about it, my psu at home runs 11.60 ish and the 3.3v line is 3.5v :/ but i have no issues

    I usually fail PSU if they are 0.5v or more over or under the stated voltage

    Like pands says it seems fine i wouldnt worry about it, Your voltage rises slighly because the CPU isnt drawing as much load,

    Don't forget that the Asus probe software might be slightly out on the voltage readings, that is why many people on the hexus forum suggest voltmeters when checking voltages.
