Rail's help

[nicoll]

Here are my voltages:

+3.3 = 3.31
+5 = 5.12
+12 = 12.40
-12 = 4.08
-5 = 0

My questions are: why is my -12v & -5v reading 4.08 & 0 ?
Is the +5v too high?
What are these minus voltages for?
Is my PC at risk?

My psu in the Antec 550 Watt TrueControl.

Thanks for your help.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

From what I've heard on this forum, the negative voltages are no longer used.

The -5 and -12 volt rails are used for legacy devices (ISA) and are no longer used in present day systems.

Your voltages are not too bad, they should be in the +/- 5% range.

Thanks guys. Puts my mind at rest.

Yup...-5 and -12 are no longer used, and your other voltages are just fine.
