Last response: in Components

Hello,
i have an antec ea 500d psu.
it has max 44amps on +12v rail.
my rig is i3 540 @ 3.06 no OC
gpu gtx 560 ti no OC.
in HW monitor and intel desktop utilities it shows around +11.87v when idle.and while gaming(when gpu usage is around 90% and cpu usage is around 70%) it drops to around +11.55v.
so i wanna know is that normal.i mean why its dropping to around +11.55.???

It's a bit low, but it's within spec (a little lower than I like to see, but still technically ok) and software monitoring is a bit inaccurate anyway. As long as you're not having stability issues, I'd say your OK.

12.384V just sitting here browsing the web, but it never falls below 12V even with Prime 95 and Furmark running at the same time.


so do you think it might be a problem with my psu?

It's on the edge, but since you say it's not causing any problems, I think you're OK. The slow boot time is unrelated.


thanks for quick replying.guess i just stop worrying then.
