just trying to give good advice to a long time member here and noticed some comments he made in a thread regarding his new card and recommended power supply versus what he is actually using. I made a comment to keep a close eye on those voltage rails while the system is under full load and told him to check with hwinfo64 since he did not have a meter at least yet to double check. here is the data he gave me in a pm and i advised the 5 volt rail was to low for safe keeping in my opinion.
let me repeat.....i said the 5 volt was too low unfortunately to keep it that way and the 12volt seemed borderline but ok.....but i wanted other peoples thoughts on this.....
edit: for the time being can we keep the topic in regards to the reported measurements for now....most all of us know its best to double check with a working meter to verify the levels are what we actually believe them to be. thank you
btw this is the thread that caught my attention..http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1837157&page=3....and i by no means wish to embarrass anyone.....just like to help people when possible in case there running a risk they may not otherwise be aware off

So the stress test brought my 12 volt rail from a max of 12.049 to 11.795
5 V rail from a max of 4.758 to 4.677
3.3V rail from a max of 3.328 to 3.296
Not perfect, but not as bad as the examples you listed. What do you think?
