i have msi neo2 plat, amd 64 3200+, ati 9800 pro softmodded to xt , 2 sata drive and 2 dvd-r drive.

i just bught antec smartpower 2.0 500w yesterday.

it read 3.30 on 3.3v , 4.89 on 5v and 12.50v on 12v.

i want to know if the 12v normal because the 12v is too high.


i am going to build dfi nforce4 board, same cpu, 7600gt.


do you think if it is enough or not.
 
It sure is. I am running my rig (see below) on an antec neopower 480. You should be fine :D

Also, my antec 12v rail runs a little high like yours also.
 
There is always some give and take with psu rails

I don't know the rated threshold with your psu so I can't say if it's "normal" or not. My psu seems to run stable and my 12v rails run around 12.4-12.5. If you are really concerned, contact Antec and talk to one of their reps.
 
i just call Antec , he told me that it is normal because of 5+ - % regulator.

Were those with a mulitmeter? If not they are just wild guess on the software's part.
