High Voltages Post Standby

[dchrsf]

I sometimes go into standby mode on my computer so I can keep my workup without having to save a thousand things in bookmarks, and in different files..yeah yeah w/e..

Anyways the computer comes out of standby, my voltages skyrocket to somthing like 12.54 for the 12v, and all the others are high also. I normally have 11.94 constant with cpu/GPU full load. Now I was wondering I know how onboard sensors can be wrong sometimes and all, but do I really have anything to worry about, or should I just ignore these problems and forget about it?

Updated BIOS twice, no goood
Updated/Downgraded every possible driver
Had problem on my old 250w PSU, and same with current 350w.

I know high voltage is a killer of hardware and I dont want that so should I just not use standby and use hibernate, or not worry about it? What I'm concerned about is that its really giving out 12.54v and other high v on the other lines and that the hardware could be ruined.

No meter of any type that I can test this with.
Thanks, Dave.

12.54 on the 12v is still within spec, but it is cause for concern because you're almost at 12.6 which is the +5% mark.

I wouldn't worry too much about it though, I think that's normal. How long does it take for the voltages to normalize, and what about your idle voltages?

Dosent normalize, and idle and full load are very similiar

I get around 11.90 idle on th 12v, and 11.84 solid load normally
I think this is a bug in my board, but just to make sure im asking. 12.54 is High I know and it dosent really go up or down (maybe by .06 idle/load) I never ran the system long enough @ those voltages to see . This only happend after the resume from standby, and before standby normal voltages are there, and after a reboot the voltages return to normal. I'll post a high volt screenie tomorrow, if needed.



EDIT *DING* Couldnt I just run somthing like P95 to test stability? Wouldnt that show if the high voltages if real was causing a problem?
