I just built my brother a computer with the Sonata II case (come w/ the 450w PSU). I noticed on the 12V rails that it ranges at about 12.1-12.2. Is this something I should be concered with? I understand Antec makes quality PSU's, and that's the reason I bought the case, but I never had a PSU exceed 12.0. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks! :beer:

Strange you've never had one go over 12V. Many will. The 12V rail can be +/- 10% of 12V and be within spec. You're okay there.

Thanks Odin. Yes it's true, none of my PSU's have exceeded 12V. On my present computer, I'm running around 11.71-11.85 on my 450W ePower/Tagen.
