high +12v on new psu

lloydcars18 · 15 Jul 2022 at 22:46

Hey folks so i just picked up an EVGA 1000GQ ready for when the RTX 4000 series launches and the +12v rail is around 12.3v its not overly high but is higher than my previous 850G2 ive attached a picture of hwinfo after a 10 minute run of a benchmark to put some load on the rail.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I wouldn't worry about it if the PC is running fine. If you have concerns I'd measure the voltage using hardware.

IIRC the spec is up to +/- 5% tolerance on the 12V rails so only a problem if it exceeds 12.6V - when the system is lightly loaded it isn't unusual to see towards the higher side of that range, what happens under load is where the concern would be if it droops too low.
