To test the power supply,
a digital multimeter was used. For idle voltage readings, the system
was left on desktop not running any programs. For full load, the
system ran 2 instances of CPU Burn-in, Prime95 torture test for maximum
power consumption, and the Nature test in 3DMark2001SE. CPU
Burn-in is a good program to maximize the CPU load. The results were not the best, but
still good nonetheless. Due to the lower amps for each independent
12v, a drop occurred under heavy overclocking. The most noticeable
was the 12v1 rail. The CPU drew so much power that it dipped below
12v. Although 11.98v is still good and within the 5% safety range,
more amps could have kept the rail at 12v.
