Voltlines too low ?

9th June 2004, 15:45

I have an Antec SL350PEC PSU (350W) and following configuration

- Athlon 2500+
- 2*256 DDR
- 1* 120 GB Maxtor HD
- Radeon 9800 pro
- cd-writer
- dvd-player
- 3 casefans
- 1 CCFL

In idle state, voltlines are like this:

+3.3V: 3.28 V
+5V: 4.91 V
+12V: 11.61 V
-12V: -12.03 V
-5V: -5.25 V

Should I worry about the voltlines (especially the +12V) and start looking for a new psu ?
Or are these values within normal margins to continue safe operation...

AXP doesn't rely on the 12v line, these values are all pretty decent; for AXP the +5v rail has to be good.
