Antec VP550F voltage problem

[Paolo Folzini]

Hello, I've got a bsod (the first one on my MSI A88X-G43 since I bought it), so I tested with OCCT my system.
The voltages of my Antec are 3,38 (3,3). 5,63 (5v), 13,02 (12v).
I'm a bit worried about 12v that is, on my Antec, 13.
Is it normal?
Thanx for any help
PS: the bsod is probably an OC GENIE bug

Using the hwmonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html to check those voltages again, if you got the same results, then the PSU has problem, here is the PSU voltage tolerances info, because +5V and +12V is too high. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/insidethepc/a/power-supply-voltage-tolerance.htm

Thanx for reply, I've just writen to Antec forum, tomorrow I'll do the same with Antec support.

Hi,

For any motherboard and software, whatever the voltages are reported, those values are wrong. Please do not use it and ignore this. The voltages on your PSU are fine, as otherwise the motherboard would crash. Also Motherboards have various VRMs (Voltage Regulation Modules), which "modify" for example 12.1V coming from the PSU into 12V, as that is what it wants, perfect voltages.

thanx for your answer. I'll follow other ways to know the reason of BSOD (maybe I've already found...oc genie)
I bought an Antec power supply for quality, and it seems that also Antec support is a model of efficiency.
thanx again, Paolo

BSOD's are normally caused by driver issues or wrong set-ups. If a PSUs fails, you get a black screen 🙂
