Would it be a problem if my psu's 12v rail went up to 13v when under load?
 
I don't think it's especially good for your components, though you'll have to wait until the electrical gurus pitch ;)
 
Safety range for your PSU voltage is +/- 5%, so if your 12V is under 12.6v should be ok, but 13v is too high.
 
Tolerance on components might be enough to allow the 13V. Is the 13V measured by you? It could be an inaccurate reading?
 
I measured using Asus pc probe, motherboard monitor 5 and the bios, but just bought a new psu anyway:D Thanks guys
