Is 11.88v normal for the 12v?

is 11.88v normal for the 12v?

im sure its right because i checked it in the bios

For me it is.

The voltage will decrease and increase depending on load.

WATCH OUT IT'S GONNA EXPLOAD!

Kidding. I'm pretty sure that little variance should be fine.

The ATX specification allows a maximum voltage swing of 5%, which means that the 12v rail can go from 11.4 volts to 12.6 volts. 11.88 volts is within this range and is actually a pretty good value.

Supply [V] Tolerance Range (min. to max.) Ripple (p. to p. max.)
+5 VDC ±5% (±0.25 V) +4.75 V to +5.25 V 50 mV
−5 VDC ±10% (±0.50 V) –4.50 V to –5.50 V 50 mV
+12 VDC ±5% (±0.60 V) +11.40 V to +12.60 V 120 mV
−12 VDC ±10% (±1.2 V) –10.8 V to –13.2 V 120 mV
+3.3 VDC ±5% (±0.165 V) +3.135 V to +3.465 V 50 mV
+5 VSB ±5% (±0.25 V) +4.75 V to +5.25 V 50 mV
