I have had this FSP PSU lying around for a while now not in use. Recently, I decided to put a cheap little computer together for my parents. Nothing special, here are the specs:
Intel E6600 CPU w/ intel HSF
Cheap Asrock mobo with integrated video
2x2gb DDR2
1 DVD burner
1 7200rpm Hard disk
1 120mm Fan
I figured the FSP would be a perfect match for this low power system (the Asrock mobo is compatible with the 20pin ATX connector so no issues there), however, I checked the voltages on it by jumping the green and black wires just to make sure all was okay. The 3.3 and 5V rails are fine but the 12V rail is reading +11.61V with nothing plugged into the PSU. With an old optical drive plugged in, I get +11.7V.
I am probably going to open her up to see if there are any issues. Is it ok? What could be causing the lower 12V voltage?
Thanks in advance :)
