Any accurate software to check rail voltages?

I set up my rig last week (Asus A8N-SLI, 3200+, 1024MB RAM, 6600GT, OCZ Modstream 450w PSU) and the Asus Probe software is reporting my 12v rail as 11.712v (which does actually stay constant despite whatever load I throw at it). The rails are reported seemingly accurately at 3.00v and 4.99v. OCZ first told me that 11.712v is actually good enough and then when I told them that CPU Wizard 2004 (found at the CPU-z website) is reporting 11.13v the reply was that I should check with a mulitmeter.

Seeing how different software programs report differently, has anyone come across a program that is reliable in reporting the correct voltage per a multimeter reading?

Nope. get a multimeter. even a walmart one for 10 bucks will do what you want.

Thanks. That thread explains it all. Ironically the voltages the OP was getting in that thread are exactly the same I'm getting (11.71v and 11.13v).

Yeah the motherboard sensors suck, but at least they detect the Delta changes, so if you see any fluctuations then you should be worried... Just don't believe that their baseline is the true voltage...
