SeaSonic M12-700

Been noticing my trusty, yet olde, SeaSonic M12-700w isn't quite delivering enough voltage on the 3.3 and 12v lines.
Current respective values are 3.29 and 11.86 regardless of amount of load taking place - should I be alarmed?

Alternately, could some knowledgeable guy point me to a better PSU?
- Kinda looking for a 1000-1200w unit to be used in benching as well as 24/7

Thanx

What are you using to measure those voltages? Software or a multimeter?

If you are using software, ignore it. They are horribly inaccurate. Software told my my Antec SmartPower 500w with a blown cap was closer to 12v than my brand new Silverstone OP650. Bull.

In any event, those voltages are well within the ATX specs, which is +/- 10% on the 12v and +/- 5% on the 5v and 3.3v, I believe. You are well within 5% on those.

As far as 1000w+ units: Thermaltake Toughpowers, Silverstone OP/DA, PC P&C TurboCool, and the Ultra X3 to name a few.

Ah, yeah, this was just figures in the P5E3 and SIIE bios.
Must admit I like the Silverstone Olympia 1200, don't really know too much about the others over here - altho sure the TT is to be had everywhere.

The ENERMAX GALAXY is a good PSU as well.

But does it compare with say OP/DA 1200's or PC P&C TC?

You shouldn't be alarmed.

If the voltages were checked with software, they should be ignored.

Are you having stability issues? Random reboots? Lock ups? If not, forget it.

You have a great PSU there. Don't swap it out "just because."

You will be hard pressed to find a psu that delivers more stable voltages than your Seasonic. 3.29 and 11.86v is absolutely nothing to be alarmed about.

Well, yes, I do - stability, reboots and lock ups. But its prolly more related to overclocking, at least I think it is. Currently testing two 790i boards
