Powersupply voltage?

[Rick]

Hi I've got a 250W powersupply with the following voltages:

+12v=12.281
-12v=-12.349
+5v=5.08
-5v=-4.912
+3.3v=3.456
vcore=1.968 set at 2.0v

Are any of these out of the acceptable range of value? The 3.3 looks a little high to me, it's about 5% over stated voltage. Is the power supply starting to go on me?

tks

Rick

Find out the specs for the PS (on the outside of the case or on the manufacturer's website) and compare them to your measured values. Out of spec is bad. In spec is good.

Hard to say, but usually, when a powersupply gets overloaded, the voltage decreases. Also, there is allways a voltage regulator built in the powersupply. It would rather die then let the voltage get out of the factory specified range.

I looked at some typical specs and +/- 5% for 3.3 V is not unusual for a budget PS. The quality PSs have +/- 1%.

You are proabably within spec and nothing is wrong with your PS.
