Does a volt make a big difference???

[jimmyj68]

I put a new Seasonic s12 500 in my computer yesterday. I carefully routed and wrapped all cables so it looked as neat as possible before i even turbed it on (talk about bravado, but I've never had a DOA anything). Powered up and wnet off to the races - everything works like a charm. Today I clicked on Everest for a complete system overview. Lo and behold- Everest sya my 2.5 volt line is only 1.55 volts. Do I need to undue everything and RMA this PSU to NewEgg??? What is the 2.5 volt line for - ram???

Buy a $20 Digital Multi-Meter as it is the ONLY way to get true voltage readings.

For pin-out refer to the Seasonic manual.

I sincerely hope Everest is lying to me.

According to what I know, I don't realize that there is a 2.5v line from the PSU.

Most likely that everest is reporting wrong. Different programs repodr different values on the same rail for me. Example

There is no such thing. The 2.5v line that everest is talking about is the vdimm (memory voltage).

No there is not a 2.5V on any PSU pin-out but the OP was talking about RMAing his Seasonic.
That is why I told him to use a DMM.
