+12 @ +11.5
+5 @ +4.4
+3.3 @ +2.75

well, you could open it up and see if there are any pots to adjust inside.

i looked at the vantec site and diddnt see anything about adj. pots, but guess it cant hurt to look

they probably wouldn't say anything on their website. opening it up will probably void your warranty as well.

i'd say you can RMA the PSU without any problems. the 3.3v and 5v rails are below the 5% tolerances they are givin.

if you have a DMM you can verify that the voltages are low by checking the 12v and the 5v rails on a molex connector.

yellow = 12v
red = 5v
black = ground

i just learned my mobo (8rda+) dosent read the 3.3 v, its reading my vdimm. but ive had the psu for more than 30 days and i ordered it from heatsinkfactory.com so i dont think i could rma it

you might want to contact Vantec then, maybe you could RMA it to them.
