quick psu question

Hi,
what value should the 12V rail be? Mine is 11.58V normal load and when gaming it goes under 11.5V. Is this normal?
PSU is a cheap 400W one which came with a budget case I had ages ago.

Sounds normal, if it goes below 11.4 then you might have cause for concern.

whoa! just seen it goto 11.2V when all settings on low. Luckily I'm picking up a Hiper Type R tomorrow.

what are you using to monitor your voltages per chance?

oh and as your getting Hiper might want to check out this thread:
