#75 - Question/Answer: Safe Power Supply Voltages

[formetoknow3]

I'd like to say thanks for the video. It's very informative. Just a word of caution to all who are using software to check your PS voltage. A lot of the time the reading can be inaccurate, so be careful relying this type of software.

The only real accurate way of checking your voltage is to use a multimeter on the PS itself.

mine are:

3.3v= 3.31

5v= 5.07

12v= 12.365

[DerUnbekannte]

xD i guess my psu does not qualify as a quality brand name psu:

750W

+3.3V: 1.5V

+12V: 8.77V

-5V: -1 - 3V

i don't remember what the values were before i changed the PSU fan, but i'm kinda astonished it still runs..

anyway, getting a corsair psu right now^^

[Totenhosen17]

Weak sauce, time for a new psu. Thanks for answering my question rodney! :)

[uut0]

my voltages:

+3.3V = 3.34V

+5V = 4.87V

+12V = 1.86V (i dont know why this is so low)

-12V = -16.97V (also wierd)

-5V = -4.05V

+5V = 5.13V

p.s. i have a 350w psu

"'Watt' are those acceptable voltage ratings" lol

[ImGodUFUCK]

888 videos lol :D

[joshua12345676]

Sweet mine are; +3.3V 3.36V, +5V 5.00V, +12V 11.90. Now to test under load.

he is talking very fast

[sgtnimitz]

thank you Dr.Obvious.

[NSS4d]

Not.

[trevmister8]

I have speedfan, but it can ONLY detect the temperature sensor in the hard drive and acts like there are no fans or anything. It can't do voltages either. Dang dell...

[roflcap]

So .4 differences aren't that bad?

[kramer3214]

my -12 volt rail is at 14.34V. my + voltages are all exceptional though. 11.78, 4.81, 3.22

[notskorn]

Thanks for moving the camera back. About 9:35 I see.

[TheNoteHelper]

Whaaat?

[TheKoreanX]

YAY!

[thornygravy]

888 videos, go rodney!

[jaynemesis]

iuse HWMonitor to view my voltages, its great software from the makers of CPU-Z and shows fan speeds, tempratures and voltages :).

So, i thought the Q + A was getting a little boring, but this one helped me too. Thanks.

[xtr1gunf00lx]

you need a life :)

[AMDATI123]

awsome video and xtr1gunf00lx,you're the one that needs a life. if you truly do have a life, dont waste you're time posting on a video that's trying to help people. you're probably 12 so you're obviously ungrateful, but when you're balls do drop, you'll probably understand

[xtr1gunf00lx]

I wasnt referring to the video. just the comment stating "first"... It should have been under reply. but since i already posted twice in this video, i guess it didnt. If your vigilant, you would see that I thanked him for the review.

Before you make illiterate assumptions, go double check the scenario and the outcome of your remarks.

[CrdBrdProjects]

man you totally fucking pwnd that guy.

[cornbreadman420]

YOU TELL HIM!!! :)

[Naruto159357]

no one said first though O.o

[ArashironCorporation]

maybe he deleted it...

[strbrrypocky]

so true

[LolAtYou2ube]

sorry. i love the videos, i just couldn't resist! :D

[xtr1gunf00lx]

awesome. thanks for the review.
