5v Line hovers @ 4.10- is that to low?

imho, i think it is a largeish risk, i mean its hard to say, you might be fine for 20 yrs !

however that plastic has got MIGHTY hot mate, dont risk it. rma the mobo and chop out the psu man. PRONTO

-again mho.

Thanks for the advice, but (foolishly) i am going to keep using them, for the moment anyway. I may see if i can find the mobo recipt tho...just in case
Still no ideas on what actually caused the probs?

 

*BOOM*

dogeh connection = spark = burt pastic ?

surge thro the mains?

could be 10000000000 things

least it aint dead

 

my +5.00v line is at 4.97v is that ok? I'm not having any problems but i'd just like to know.


Thanks

yep thats fine, anythin above 4.8 should be fine...

 

OK. SO ive been thinking - its only my 5V rail that is low, and only a couple of connectors look borked. A little look later, the 2 burnt connectors are the 5v connectors to the mobo (i think) so thats where the prob is i think. Maybe if i clean the mobo pins up, because theyre not letting enought through or sumamt?
