+v5 too high?

Last response: in Overclocking

Core i5-750 @ 2.67Ghz
Asus P7P55D-E
Corsair HX-650

Not really overclocking, rather just undervolting.
But i got this strange +v5, always, with stock vcore or undervolted.
Ok so i have some strange values on the +v5 with asus Probe II.
I don't know if they're correct or not as asus Probe II shows different +v12 from HWMonitor.
What program can i use to check voltages?

HWMonitor:



Asus Probe II:

The ATX specifies a +/- 10% variation in the voltage, so a 5V is considered ok for the ranges of 4.5V up to 5.5V. So 5.16V is perfectly normal and no need to worry about it.

Run OCCT and graph your voltages while under a torture test of you're concerned.

And while the ATX spec allows some pretty wide variations it must be remembered that wavering voltages makes for difficult OC'ing

Like I said above, "ATX specs say all outputs are +/- 5% except the -12 volt output which is +/- 10%"

A good PSU with undervolt protection (Corsair, for instance) will not let you boot with 11.0 volts on the 12 volt rail. And if the 12 volt output drops to 11.0 volts, it will shut down.


You are right, i mixed the -5 and -12v into the ATX2.02. We have newer PSUs now. I just wanted to cool the guy down showing him that his values are quite normal and no need to worry.

ok thx for all the anwsers, i went for the corsair on this system as i wanted something stable and with very small variations.
I was just checking to see if my corsair wasn't faulty or anything.

thx guys.
