Antec TruePower 380 and mobo voltage reporting

[seismik]

Hi,

I've an Antec TruePower 380 PSU, and using the Soltek Motherboard Monitor I see my voltages as:

CPU Voltage: 1.456 - 1.472
3.3V: 3.184 - 3.216
5V: 4.946 - 4.973
12V: 12.416 - 12.480
-12V: -12.356 - -12.441
5VSB: 5.414
Battery: 3.280

Are these fluctuations ok? The 3.3 looks a little low, shouldn't it be up at 3.3 at least most of the time? Likely a case of faulty Soltek voltage reporting or a problem with power? My system is pretty basic for power requirements I think, check it out in my sig.

You're within spec according to those readings.

Also, some mobo's aren't efficient at distributing power due to high losses. Your in good shape though. Peace.

If you really want to know, test it with a digital multimeter.

Agreed. My mobo (8rda+) is off on at least the 12 V and 5 V according to my cat3 mm. The cost of a multimeter that is accurate is at least the cost of a motherboard so don't expect a motherboard to be right on. <--my opinion

My DMM is accurate to .5%. That's within .06V measuring the 12V rail, which is accurate enough to tell me how my rails are. It cost $30.
