Power Supply +5 rail

[Old-School]

I just purchased the Enermax Liberty 500w. I noticed that the +5 rail spikes a little bit as follows; 5.107 to 5134. Is there something wrong with my P/S?

My Antec had consistent rails and never had any spikes or surges. I know that the jump doesnt seem to warrant a posting, but Ive been wrong before

Any insight would be helpful :?

Thanx

I wouldn't call that a spike or a surge, more of a variableness, which is quite common in PSU's. You're hard pressed to find a PSU that stays constant at a exact voltage level (if it's even possible) w/o a little fluctuation. The time to worry is when a RAIL goes from, say, 12.014 to 14.00 or 9.00, than it's time to rip the hair out.

I read many reviews concerning this ps and all was positive. I researched the liberty from many different sources b4 purchasing.


I would like to get into oc'ing, but im limited to what I can do with my ASUS a8v deluxe.

Is that a standard 6800? Meaning non-GT/GS/etc.? I cannot comment personally on that mobo, but if I was you, I would leave the oc'ing alone, personal experience hasn't warranted enough performance boost to make me care about oc'ing, but maybe you'll find different.
