I was watching the psu voltages via gkrellm, and was seeing the 5 volt line go from 4.89, down to 4.73 in consecutive readings. The new 420 watt Antec, seems to be steadier at 4.87 +- 0.03 or so.
I suspect the tap point for the xx83627 chips input may not be right at the psu connector on the mobo cause I suspect the supply itself is probably doing 5.05 or so, although I haven't dropped my DVM on the line to test, its rather buried behind the drive cage. But lemme go hit a drive power connector since there are spares on this psu, brb.
Yeah, at a drive cables middle connector, with a small load on the end, its sitting at 5.00 volts, solid as a rock. This supply has seperate regulators for the 5 volt, and 3.3 volt lines where the older one regulated everything against the 5 volt by turns ratios on the transformer, and was only a 300 watter, with 2 hd's, 2 floppy's and a dvd writer in addition to the motherboard load.
Anything else a C.E.T. can get for you?
