-60v = Broken PSU?

[whrswoldo]

Recently I was playing around in my mobo's bios and noticed that the voltages were a bit off. Wayyy off. A pic:



My rig's components include: soltek 939 agp mobo (via chipset), 3200+ cpu @ stock, 6800gt @ mild overclock, raptor74gb, dvd/cd-rw, ocz plat revision 2 512x2, antec neopower 480 psu, 2x sunon 12cm @ 5v, swiftech 12v wc pump, gamesurround fortissimo III sound, some adjustable TT radiator fan.

My system has been very stable with the exception of my first mobo ( msi platinum something) that died a year ago. I also had some problems booting a month or 2 ago, although while I was checking all of the wires and such and cleaning out the case I noticed that switching the port on my modular power supply that the components were plugged into fixed the problem.

I've been looking to upgrade to a newer mobo and video card within the next 2-3 months, so Im wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade the power supply as well?

If this is a severe problem I will probably upgrade the psu within the week.

New power supplies (like your NeoPower) don't have a -5V rail. That's just the motherboard's way of saying that it isn't picking anything up. It's normal.
The ATX 12V v2.0 specification in general doesn't require that voltage line.

Let this be a lesson as to how inaccurate software readings are.

There's no -5V lead at all.... yet your board is reporting -60V.

Thanks guys, wasn't aware of that
