Smile Welcome to the club!

I recommend that you return it as these have serious problems &
often take the mobo/video with them when they fail.

If you don't wish to believe me, then read the PSU Guides at XS, Hard, DFI, OC &
you will see that not only does NO ONE recommend them, many specifically advise aginst using them.

Also the only way to measure voltages is with a DVM/DMM like this.

my Aspire has 30A on the 12V line, with a lightly loaded system the thing still reads 11.69V with a DMM. I'm too afraid to void the warranty and the open the thing to look at the size of the heatsinks, becasue I know eventualy this thing is going to give.
