I have recently purchased a Lepa 1600W Full Modular PSU. I am getting some big drops in voltages even under small loads and I am wondering what is acceptable.
I have messaged Lepa a few days ago and still waiting on a return message from them.
I had a
Antec 900W High Current Gamer PSU in my system and I would monitor my voltages and they would stay above the spec voltage.12v 5v 3.3v
I have a lot of stuff running in my computer with it being water cooled and I did not want to burn the Antec up so I purchased a
Lepa 1600w PSU and when I put a load on the system through games I notice I big voltage drop. 12v = 11.74v, 5v = 4.8v and 3.3v = 2.8v.
Is that ok or should I be looking for a RMA on the PSU ?
I am judging this by how my Antec PSU performed, but the Lepa is gold certified.
I am getting the readings from AIsuite but it seemed to have done a good job on monitoring my Antec.
I have read the support page on the Lepa website and I have plugged PSU directly in to the wall. I made sure that I have spit the power load on each 12v rail and it did not make any difference.
