I am using Motherboard monitor to look at my power supply voltages. My 3.3+ is reading as 2.66 volts and my -5 is @ 5.64V. Should I be worried? It is a new Enermax PSU.
thanks,

It's looking at the RAM voltage as the 3.3v line - that happens on my system too. Your 5.5v is just a wee bit high; don't think it's anything to be concerned about though.

The threshold for the 5V line is 5% so 5.25V should be the max. That is a little high. How are your other voltages?

They are all a bit on the high side. But none are more than about .5V too high. I am just paranoid because I just had a bad PS take out a motherboard.

Is that the value of the 5-volt line or the -5 line? If -5 it doesn't matter cause it isn't used anymore and motherboards can't read it correctly anyway.

Right....Did you really mean the -5 volt line, or did you mean the 5 volt line?

he means the -5v line. you can see the - sign in front of his 5
yup, the -5v line doesn't matter anymore
