MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) + FSP Everest 88 PLUS 700 +12V Monitor

[Andy]

I would like to ask why on CPUID's Hardware Monitor Pro my +12V rails only displays 8V ?

While on AIDA64 it displays 11.888V

My Specifications are:

• Intel Core i7 8520
  
• MSI X79A-GD45 (8D)
  
• FSP Everest 88 PLUS 700
  
• G.skill Trident (2 x dual kit = quad channel)
  

I tried to perform a system stability test using AIDA64 were running fine.

Anyone has a clue or encountering the same problem?

AIDA64 has specific sensor adjustments for your motherboard, while Hardware Monitor Pro doesn't have such capability.

Very good, I tested with a digital multi tester and probed directly through one of the molex output cable, and I got 11.88 Volt just like AIDA 64 reported.

Is it normal if the output only 11.88 Volt? Isn't it should be 12 Volt ++?

Slight variations are absolutely normal, in either directions. 11.88V means it's only 1 percent deviation from 12.00V, so it's nothing to worry about Anything above 5% would be an issue, and most likely would cause the system to produce various anomalies like BSoD or lockups.

Ok, glad to hear that. Thank you very much for your advice..
