I'm posting this here because I'm pretty sure this isn't caused by my power supply, as I just installed a new one yesterday and I'm getting the same results.

My 12V line on Sandra always comes up as 9.8V constantly. No fluxuations, no changes, it's always 9.8. I recently shipped out a two year old 350W power supply for a 480W supply and for both it's still the same: 9.8V.

Which leads me to believe the supply is not the problem. Could this be a restriction on the motherboard, or some problem with the motherboard that only allows 9.8 V to get in? Or could this be a problem of the surge protecter or the supply in my apartment?

I'm kind of at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

sandra always reports voltages wrong, check your voltages with a multimeter

Tenzium

I don't have a multimeter, nor am I really interested in getting one. I'm not that curious.

Is there another program that might be able to do give me an accurate reading?

adas

maybe everest from www.lavalys.com it shoud tell you the right voltages

or you can check in your bios, should tell you in there too

The only piece of software that I have that can correctly display the voltages is the ASUS probe utility for ASUS boards. SiSandra, Everest and PC Wizard all show them incorrect.

I looked around in the BIOS last night and didn't see anything.
