My-12V rail is at -13.25 @ full load . is this dangerous? [radeon 9800pro] [nf7]
Q: Hi, Does anyone know what this track is
does?
is this fatal to one of my constituents?
btw Im using a generic 350W run a 35W 2400 mobile (IQYHA) @ 2.4 GHz 1.7vcore 2.85vdimm and running my ram. I have a CD-RW, DVD-ROM, a 60GB HDD 7200, a Radeon 9800pro and a Nf7-s.

Re:My bad.
Wasn't paying attention to it being -12v….
never mind.
Re:alrighty thx guys, nothing to really worry about
the readings are coming from my mobo btw
Re:The -12V rail was used for old serial ports. Modern RS232 chips can internally generate positive and negative voltages from a 5V supply. Don't worry about it.
Re:I see that kind of variance all the time.
Also I'm 90% sure that the -12v rail is defunct and is not used by anything.

hello,
does anyone know what this rail does?
is this fatal to any one of my components?
It supplies the voltage to the CPU and IDE devices (CD, DVD, HD)
Yes. anything over 13 is excessive and will eventually cause one or all
of the above to fail.
How are you measuring the VOLTAGE (Motherboard monitor, multimeter, etc..)?
Re:yes i know that but i was reading a guide @ extremeoverclocking.com that told u which rail is responsible for what component but the -12v rail wasn't mentioned at all.
anyone know what it does?
thx
Re:It is more than 10% variance from the norm, so yes it can be potentially dangerous
