What Detects The Voltages On The Mb?


Recommended Posts

I'm somewhat confused by the readings that the bios displays for the voltage readings, 11.3 to 11.4 volts.

When I check with a crappy little multimeter I get around 13.9 volts.

I checked my wife's Enermax and got 14.4 volts.

I'd imagine that this should be alarming if correct.

Should I bring my computer to work and use a calibrated Fluke 744 to read the voltages from the psu?

Yes, they only way to REALLY get accurate readings is to use a quality multimeter. The mobo's readings are never very accurate, and neither are those of a "crappy" multimeter. Bust out the high-quality one and see what you get.

I'll try that sometime this week.

How much more or less voltage can the average motherboard safely work with?

I know that this is a very general question, but there must be some sort of general rule of thumb to follow.
