Ok did some tests.
in a 12 hour period of various usage including gaming and CPU burn internet and idle these are the highs and lows.
Enermax liquid cooled (with extended transistor wiring)
Core 0 high 1.89 low 1.84 difference .05
Core 1 high 1.94 low 1.89 difference .05
+3.30 high 3.31 low 3.22 difference .09
+5.00 high 5.09 low 4.96 difference .13
+12.00high 12.59low 12.40 difference .19
I am now running an unmodified fan cooled 300Watt Aopen PSU to compare, (It's only been running 4 hours though but here are the voltages with no gaming)
Core 0 high 1.90 low 1.84 difference .06
Core 1 high 1.95 low 1.90 difference .05
+3.30 high 3.30 low 3.20 difference .10
+5.00 high 5.00 low 4.87 difference .13
+12.00high 12.65low 12.46 difference .19
It must be mentioned that both these PSU's show more fluctuations on my newer MSI mobo (nforce), than they did on an Abit KT7-A Raid, (Kt133a), so some of it could be the mobo or monitoring IC. The Enermax however still seems generally better even with extended transistor wires.
