PSU 5V running 0.02 under min.

Hey guys, my PSU is reported (Via sensorview) as the 5V rail being 4.73, 0.02 volts under what is regarded as minimum. Is this a major issue. I one other dodgy figure on the 12V rail saying it is 0.93. I am running VIsta with the latest Sensorview.

Any advise? My specs are in my sig, cheers!



Im not a psu man.

Re: PSU 5V running 0.02 under min.

thats cool thank mate. I am in London. But i will track one down here. Can you suggest a guide (with pics) as to testing the voltages. I assume it is live to chassis on different connectors?
