Are my voltages right?

I'm looking at Asus Probe and wondering if my voltages are correct, here are the numbers:

+12V = 11.369

+5V = 5.026

+3.3V = 3.264

Thanks in advance.

I think each voltage is supposed to match the intended value, so if you are dippling low, that could be a problem. It's not bad if you tip over a bit, I think. Also, check the voltages in your bios to compare, because my MSI app shows the 12 volt rail as 11.67 - 11.8, while in the bios, it was reading 11.9.

What is the most accurate measurement point?

Reason I ask is MBM reported my 5v at 4.1v, and 12v at 11.2v, in my new Antec PS.
Checked in Bios, and it showed the same thing.
Then I measured voltage with my Fluke meter, at the 4 pin drive cable, and 5v was 5.03, while 12v showed 12.19v.

Because both MBM and Bios obtain their results from the motherboard sensors, it does seem like relying on the motherboard to correctly report power supply readings is not the most accurate way to go?

11.36v on the +12v rail is below the safe spec. If you have any system instability this could be why.

Nope havn't been experiencing any problems...no crashes or anything...

I am using Cool & Quiet though...could that be the reason? Thanks.
