Wrong Voltages from Enermax Power Supply.

[PeteJ]

I used SiSoft Sandra to list the system characteristics for my mb and got some very strange voltages. I'll tabulate them below:
Nominal voltage Measured voltage
+3.3...................+1.52
+5.....................+4.62
+12....................+12,16
-12....................+1.63
-5.....................+0.88
+5 standby.............+4.68
Battery................+3.07
Is there any reality in the "measured" voltages from S-Sdra? I can't tell if my powersupply is messed up or if the voltage measurements that S-Sdra reports are. The computer is running nominally pretty well.

I really don't think the machine would run at all if those readings were accurate. Many bioses will display the voltages, I'd trust those way more than Sandra, and Motherboard Monitor does a good job of it, too.....

Thanks. I wonder if anyone else has found a problem with voltages from S-Sndra

Thanks jhhnn. I wonder if anyone else has found errors with SSndra?

There is no way in hell those are correct and your machine still boots. The -12 maybe, as I think those are only for serial devices. the 3.3 could not be off that much. It would fry the voltage regulation for the CPU in short order unless you have an AWESOME mainboard. Like maybe serverworks.
