Hi all, got a question about my PSU, was looking over the numbers from HWinfo and I noticed something odd, to me at least.

The 12V+ supply to the GPU appears normal until I came across the "GPU Rail Voltages" sitting at 10.515V. Everything is sitting at or over 12V.

Could this cause any issues during gaming?
 
Have you tried measuring the voltage using a multimeter and measuring the molex/SATA connectors 12v leads? What are the other voltages looking like? EVGA have a number of PSU's under the Supernova series, which one do you have and how old is the unit?

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
 
Using a multi meter is a bit like voodoo to me. I could do it I guess.

Specs wise:

CPU: Ryzen R9 3900X
CPU Cooler: Stock Wraith Prism
Mobo: MSI Tomahawk B450 Max
Ram G.Skill Trident Z 32gb
SSD: Crucial P1 1TB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
GPU: Colorful RTX 3080 iGame Advanced OC
PSU EVGA 750w G+ Supernova fully modular
Chassis Thermaltake View 32 TG
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: Gigabyte M27Q 170hz 1440p
BIOS unknown at this time.

The system is 4 years old

The naming by HWinfo "GPU 12V rail" could be misleading?

As you said, the true test is with a meter, not sensors

Trying to get to the bottom of why my system crashes during a game. Cyberpunk 2077 and BeamNG.drive.

Coincidence that all of this misbehaving began when I updated to Windows 11.
