11.88 enough?

My 12v rail is usually around 11.8, is that two low for 3 HDDs?

Anything from 11.4 to 12.6 volts is within the 5% margin of tolerance. Of course, I should hope that you measured that voltage with an accurate instrument like a voltmeter or multimeter. The motherboard gives you a pretty inaccurate depiction of the voltage regulation of your PSU.

Don't PCP&C power supplies have 1%?

Not all models but the better pc power & cooling do have 1% tol which model pc p&c do you have. I have never seen my 510 drop below 12V even with everything running !

11.88 / 12 is exactly 99%.

You're 1% out, which is excellent.

Everyone should have a 510 ! it's simply the best psu money can buy !

which is why i bought it. and to the thread starter, don't worry, you're really running much higher than 11.88. When will people learn software readings are INVARIABLY inaccurate?
