    I just tested my PSU with only 4 fans connected and the 12v rail was 11.98 to 11.93 which is good, but the 5v rail was a steady 5.25. Is that too high, or could it be just because of the way I was testing it?

    Just got my 2005FPW

    It is incredible... even on an analog connection (getting dvi capable card soon). No dead pixels or stuck ones as far as I can tell. I just need to stress that for the $560 that you can easily get these for with a little search for coupons they are well well well worth it.
