So, I've picked up 4 Dell 460W PSUs for dirt cheap. Apparently unused (guy bought the Dell computers, and immediately put in extra-beefy power supplies), and even if they were used, they're still not terribly old, but they are terribly inexpensive.
I have an electronic PSU tester, and I know that doesn't put any actual load on it. Still, all voltages came up fine . . EXCEPT for the negative 12 volt rail.
It's high on all 4 power supplies, but on two of them, enough so that the tester complained, coming in at 13.8V or 13.9V.
ASSUMING my tester isn't flaky, how bad is that reading? What are the consequences of high voltage on that rail?
