 Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2007 2:09 am Post subject: VA-10 voltage problems |
 |
|
Hi...
Two different monitoring utilities insist that my -12V is very low at -7.2
and the AMD 2500+ core voltage is high at 1.66V. I got the same results with
two different power supplies (one of which is new).
Any ideas why this would be? Bad sensors, maybe? |

Must be a waste of time to install those monitors, then.
I was just worried I might be destroying my CPU.

If it works don't fool with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it. |

The -12 supply isn't used by your VA-10, so you can rest at ease. Chances
are that the measuring device needs to measure the -12 under a load and your
board doesn't provide a load for that rail.
Nothing to worry about. It's been years since ANY desktop board made use of
the -12 volt supply.

Well, I learn something new every day.
The ATX pwr supply has -12 on it, so I thought it was there for a purpose.

The best place to get voltage information is in the BIOS or from vendor |
supplied diagnostic programs. 3rd party applications usually introduce
at least a minor (in some cases major) error for a variety of reasons.
