In the power window in my Bios, i believe my volatages have something wrong with them. They are read. Following volt are like this

V core - 1.5V
3.3Volt - 2.86V
5Volt - 4.48V
12Volt - 11.26V

I can see they are under but what is the reason and is it harmful.

My temps are from 35=40 degrees.

Please help me :)

Thanks

They seem a bit low i guess but i really don't know much about voltages..

Do you have cool and quiet running? Also i think ntune sets some power saving profile, might want to check ntune's profiles out.

Mine are

V core - 1.504V
3.3Volt - 3.296V
5Volt - 4.972V
12Volt - 11.968V

CPU temps here are 42 idle
MB 41 idle

Since 3 of the 4 rails you listed have more than 5% variance from their target value, it could be a concern.

If I may ask, what PSU are you using.

check it with a dmm, software monitoring is not accurate. you can get a cheap one for ~10 bucks at a radio shak or something

My PSU is Antec TRuecontrol 550W. I dont seem to be having any problems with my system but am just concerned. I paid alot of money for the PSU and it should work flawlessly. Please anything else u can suggest, let me know

I use the same PSU in my system, and my rails register:

V core - 1.5V
3.3Volt - 3.312V
5Volt - 5.053V
12Volt - 12.096V

Just wondering if you use the Truecontrol panel to adjust each individual rail, since I had to fiddle with it a bit with it before those rails reach those values.

I have the same PS also. Adjustable rail PS's are notorious for coming from the factory with the settings not adjusted properly. The instructions tell you to check the rails with a multi-meter and adjust accordingly before you start up the first time. Mine was a little low, not quite as low as yours, but was easy to adjust with the little screwdriver in the front panel. And I found the MB readings to be right on with the multimeter in my case
