[SOLVED] 12v Rail 11.808v

[Digicats]

Under load, sometimes, it goes down to 11.808, avg is ~11.914 range. Is this safe? I found a few posts elsewhere but no one is definitive as usual. I read if it goes below ~11.700 there is an issue.

I don't know where you've read that.

ATX specification stipulates the tolerance should be within 5%. So basically, the rail should not fluctuate more than 5%, which makes it the following:

Rail (V)	5%	Max	Min
12	0.6	12.6V	11.4V
5	0.25	5.25V	4.75V
3.3	0.165	3.465V	3.135V

11.7V is fine on a 12V rail is fine.
I'd be a bit concerned if it were say 11.6, but still not too worried. Just keeping an eye on it.
Once it goes out of 5% for a period of time, I tend to RMA the unit.

Yea I actually just read that. Was just worrying it was failing slowly. Seems i'm good though, thank you for the reply.
