Not even close. Solid PSU. Worry not about your PSU.

Voltage drops happen. It is a fact of life. The term is called "Vdroop". A certain level of it is not only normal but expected. Too much and there is a possible problem. This is the nature of PSUs. Always has been. For example my 12v rails drop to 11.81v under full load. And I have an EVGA PSU.

So can we all dispense with the vdroop fear-mongering please?

Hi,
Think you should read my post again without the drama glasses or remove the Irish from your coffee you had the first time lol

There was no fear mongering just a simple observation from the review showing the voltage drop as he showed he has even though it was an older release of the same psu.

That was comment was not aimed at you specifically. Please don't take it personally.

Hi,
Only other reply in you quote was from the owner of the psu
Neither of us were fear mongering so it's difficult not to take your comment personally buddy.

When a response comment is separated by a blank line, it's an indication that the line is not necessarily a direct response.

Kinda like this.

Duly noted.. next time I make an observation like that I will just keep scrolling. I was just trying to help through a little experience that I had.

Hi,
Yeah should of asked the owner to ask a new question
Or maybe Lex can open a psu thread he has many discussions and we can move this off topic stuff there.

No rules stating you can't do that. Feel free.

I never cared about the 12v rail drop but because i saw a few of you debating about it you made me curious and so i tested it.
I use my PC just for gaming, so if i run P95 + furmark to test the 12v rail that would we an unrealistic test because that it is not the kind of load my PC is under when gaming, to test it i played 30 minutes of CW.

I dont know how much matter the Eco stuff but my is on.

That's fine, to me 11.4v is right in the basement because at 11.2v your gonna have a problem, that problem being your computer that was running fine will now be rebooting. And it will do it all over again as soon as that same load hits.

Found this which to me makes sense

Voltage Rail Tolerance Minimum Voltage Maximum Voltage
+3.3VDC ± 5% +3.135 VDC +3.465 VDC
+5VDC ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC
+5VSB ± 5% +4.750 VDC +5.250 VDC
-5VDC (if used) ± 10% -4.500 VDC -5.500 VDC
+12VDC ± 5% +11.400 VDC +12.600 VDC
-12VDC ± 10% -10.800 VDC - 13.200 VDC

-12VDC ± 10% -10.800 VDC - 13.200 VDC

So according to that, down to 11.4 is in the limit of tolerance?

Anyway, here's a pic with it all zip tied up, imo zips are good enough. And a link showing water flow.

freeagent · Aug 25, 2021

I think I like the dark look better

I need to manage a couple of cables a little nicer but for right now I don’t care too much. Anyways that should take care of pics for a bit now that my system is done.. thanks for putting up with me

Haha, the controller was a freebie

a white case for a change, I've only had a white Antec P280 back in the day (I actually had a X58 build in that as well), otherwise I've had black cases for the last 16 years.

Already been doing some thinking how I'll put a custom loop there. I think that one 240x45 rad is enough as I'll have only the Xeon in the loop, 7970 Matrix's huge 3-slot cooler is more than fine for it. :toast:

I thought you had an RX280? Or am I thinking of someone else?

SN2716057 · Aug 26, 2021

Don't you mean R9 280? Basically a rebranded 7970

7970 Matrix on 2nd rig, bought it in May at 30EUR + postage. I had a 280 like 7 years ago though.

SN2716057 said:

Yeah, rebrands. 280 = 7950 Boost and 280X = 7970.

Your 280X's worked?? All the 4 or so I had, they all arrived knackered with crap memory!! lol

That said I still have my 7970s kicking about here... Think I have 5 of them?!......

Haven't got a 280X ever, but the 280 I had in 2014 (a Gigabyte Windforce X3) worked flawlessly, sold it and got an used GTX 680.

My 7970 Matrix works like a charm and stays cool and quiet
