Hello OcUK,
So my Mobo wasn't booting, it was reporting (via LEDs on the board) a problem with the voltage supplied to the CPU (which is running stock multiplier and voltages). I sent the Mobo off to be tested and it was reported that it booted straight into windows. So let the PSU testing begin!
Using a multimeter I got the following readings:
Pin Description = Voltage measured
24 Pin ATX:
3.3V = 3.4V
5V = 5.09V
12V = 12.29V
-12V = -11.74V
5V Standby = 5.15V
Power OK = 0.06V
-5V = Missing Pin (always been like this)
8 Pin ATX:
12V = 12.3V
The voltages above were identical for all pins with the same description (e.g. all four 12V pins on the 8 Pin ATX read 12.3V). All grounds measured 0V, which I'm almost sure is a good thing
Clearly there are some discrepancies but are these typical or are the voltages out far enough to cause a problem? I have had this set up running for about 6 months.
Hardware:
Mobo: MSI Z77A-GD65
PSU: OCZ Mod Xtreme-Pro 500W 80+
CPU: 3770K (Not overclocked)
Any advice would be great.
