Mine is at +11.74 to +11.64--is that normal
i have on my system:
12x DVD-rom
1 plextor cd-rw
1 40gb hdd
1 30gb hdd
1 9.1gb hdd
all 3 hdd is udma 66 7200rpm
3 80mm cooling fan
2 60mm delta fan
1 ystech 50mm fan

i think these are the only components that use 12v line juice power.
i'm especially want know if users of enermax 431PS have better ratings on their 12v line?


Thanks
 
What power supply do you have? My antec 300w always ran a bit low and my enermax 350w always runs a bit high. I
 
anybody?
i was just wondering if lower than 12v will affect your peripherals performace or stability?
 
I recently installed an Enermax 651P-VE. I have the following installed in my primary system:

2 120MM high CFM Papst fans
1 80mm high CFM Delta
4 40mm high CFM fans (2 each on Ultimate HD Coolers)
1 40mm high CFM fan on my Radeon
Toshiba 16x DVD
Plextor 12/10/32A
2 Maxtor 7200RPM 40GB HDs

The power on my +12V rail is showing 12.46V, the +3.3V is 3.78V, and the +5V is at 5.03V.

I had an Enermax 451P-VE installed before with the same above components installed. I hooked up 4 additional 120mm fans to see what it would do, and immediately experienced the system re-booting it's self when getting into Windows. I removed the 4 additional fans, and it worked fine again.

EDIT: When I installed 4 additional 120mm fans with the Enermax 651, the system works fine with no re-booting.
 
I've got a generic 300W PSU and maintains 12.07V. 3.54V and 5.03V with the following peripherals:
T-Bird 900@1.1Ghz
60mm, 5400RPM HSF
(3) 80mm Case Fans
(1) 90 mm Case Fan
(1) 100mm Case Fan
1 DVD Drive
1 72X Cd-Rom Drive
1 Plex 12/10/32A
1 7200 IBM 20Gb
1 7200 WD 20 gb
1 Int Zip 100
1 Floppy
1 HD Fans

Never had problems with this PSU but I'm in the process of converting my old AT PSU to solely power the fans. It will be relay operated by a 12V from the main PSU.😎
 
It's usually more to do with the motherboard itself. I changed from a KT7A to a KK266 and my 12V went from 1.77V (at load) to 12.19V (at load).
