Resolved PSU 12 volt rail

Hello everyone, my bios reports that the 12 volts is putting out between 11.73 and 11.79 volts, is the psu about to die or is it within the range limits

Probably just fine.

Mine reports 11.55 - 11.67 V and seems to me has always been in this approximate range. So I would say your voltages are normal and PSU is OK.

 

When the psu was new it was at a little over 12 volts, the other day would not load windows and now it takes a couple of restarts to get into windows.

 

FWIW here's mine:

CPU Core 1.66 V
+3.3 V 3.20 V
+5 V 4.81 V
+12 V 11.98 V
-12 V -12.53 V
-5 V -5.10 V
+5 V Standby 4.92 V
VBAT Battery 3.15v

All seems normal for me. Neil.

 

Here is what SIW lists there seems to be quite a difference between that and the BIOS
Voltages
CPU VCORE 1.23 V 1.14 V 1.39 V
VIN1 4.02 V 4.02 V 4.02 V
+3.3V 3.30 V 3.28 V 3.30 V
+5V 6.83 V 6.83 V 6.83 V
+12V 12.48 V 12.35 V 12.48 V
-12V -6.34 V -6.34 V -6.27 V
VBAT 3.31 V 3.31 V 3.31 V

came to the conclusion it was a display driver (I Hope) updated the driver
